Car boot sale APEL Sacré-Cœur of Saint-Germain-le-Fouilloux

Car Boot Sale APEL Sacré-Cœur – Saint-Germain-le-Fouilloux (53240)

In the Mayenne bocage, Saint-Germain-le-Fouilloux (53240) is a commune in the arrondissement of Laval whose associative life is marked by the APEL Sacré-Cœur. This parents' association for Catholic education organizes its annual car boot sale every May, an event eagerly awaited by the school's families and the inhabitants of the surrounding villages.

Saint-Germain-le-Fouilloux is located in the Loiron-Ruillé sector, in a bocage area between Laval and Brittany. The landscape, characterized by hedgerows, meadows, and small streams, creates a pleasant environment for this type of outdoor event. In May, when the vegetation is at its spring peak, the setting is particularly attractive.

The APEL Sacré-Cœur is an active association that supports the village's Catholic school in all its educational and cultural projects. The annual car boot sale is its main fundraising event, enabling it to raise the necessary funds for school trips, equipment, and complementary activities. All the volunteer parents mobilize to make this day a success.

Exhibitors set up their tables with a varied selection of second-hand items: tableware and table arts, children's and adult clothing, toys and games, books, trinkets, and decorative objects. APE and APEL events naturally attract many items related to childhood and family, which is particularly appreciated by visitors with young children.

Admission is free for visitors. Catering, provided by volunteer parents, adds a friendly touch to the event. The profits are entirely reinvested for the benefit of the Sacré-Cœur school.
