Car boot sale APEL Saint-Jean-Baptiste de Grez-en-Bouère

Car boot sale APEL Saint-Jean-Baptiste – Grez-en-Bouère (53290)

Every May 8th, Grez-en-Bouère (53290), a commune in the southeast of Mayenne in the Val de Loir, hosts the car boot sale organized by the APEL Saint-Jean-Baptiste. This choice of May 8th – commemoration of the Victory of 1945 and a public holiday – is practical for exhibitors and visitors who have a full day to enjoy the event.

Grez-en-Bouère is a commune in the Château-Gontier-sur-Mayenne area, in the transition territory between Mayenne and Anjou. The Bouère river, which gives the commune its name, carves pretty meanders through a landscape of meadows and gentle bocage. This pleasant geographical setting contributes to the event's appeal for visitors from neighboring towns.

The APEL Saint-Jean-Baptiste (Association of Parents of Free School Students) supports families and the village's Catholic school throughout the school year. Its May 8th car boot sale is a popular event, well-established in the local calendar, anticipated by the inhabitants of Grez-en-Bouère and the surrounding villages.

Exhibitors, exclusively individuals, present a varied selection of second-hand items: tableware and table arts, clothing for children and adults, toys and games, books and comics, tools and garden equipment, trinkets and decorative objects. In this region of the Val de Loir, character houses often hold beautiful pieces at reasonable prices.

The day takes place in a serene and family-friendly atmosphere, with catering on-site provided by APEL volunteers. Entry is free for all visitors.
