Car boot sale APEL/OGEC — Fégréac

The APEL/OGEC Car Boot Sale in Fégréac

Every September, the Association of Parents of Free Education (APEL) and the Catholic Education Management Body (OGEC) of Fégréac jointly organize their annual car boot sale on the town's asphalted ground. This back-to-school event, which brings families together around the local Catholic school, is an anticipated event in this village of Brière on the borders of Loire-Atlantique and Morbihan.

Fégréac, a village on the borders of Brière and Brittany

Fégréac is a village located in the north of Loire-Atlantique, near Redon and on the borders of Morbihan and Ille-et-Vilaine. This territory, where Breton and Loire influences mix, is marked by the landscapes of heathland, forests, and marshes that form the transition between Brière and inland Brittany. A human-sized rural village, Fégréac has a modest but constant associative life, of which the Catholic school is one of the most active hubs.

APEL and OGEC, two complementary actors

The joint organization by APEL and OGEC illustrates the complementarity of these two structures in the life of a Catholic educational establishment. APEL represents the students' families and their educational interests, while OGEC manages the material and financial aspects of the establishment. By joining forces to organize this car boot sale, the two associations maximize their volunteer resources and ensure a well-organized event for the benefit of Fégréac's students.

An asphalted ground transformed into a market

The asphalted ground in Fégréac, a versatile space in the town, is transformed each September into a second-hand goods market. This flat and accessible surface offers pleasant exhibition conditions, allowing exhibitors to set up their stalls without constraints related to the ground. The pitches offered between €10 and €15 are accessible to all budgets, encouraging high family participation.

Back-to-school items and autumnal conviviality

Exhibitors offer a selection of items suitable for the season and back-to-school: children's and adult clothing, books and school supplies, toys, sports equipment, crockery, and household items. Visitors, families from Fégréac and neighboring villages, always find good deals for the school year at very affordable prices. The friendly and village atmosphere is one of the most appreciated characteristics of this back-to-school event.
