Car boot sale APEL of Saint-Vincent-de-Paul

The APEL car boot sale of Saint-Vincent-de-Paul

The APEL (Association de Parents d'Élèves de l'Enseignement Libre) of Saint-Vincent-de-Paul organizes a large street sale and car boot sale each year by the Glacière pond. This event, located at 128 route de l'Étang, benefits from a pleasant natural setting about 2 kilometers from the village center.

A car boot sale for the school

The proceeds from the car boot sale are donated to the APEL to fund school projects and educational outings for the commune's students. This solidarity aspect motivates families to participate as exhibitors or visitors, creating a positive community dynamic around the school.

The Glacière pond, a green setting

The Glacière pond is a peaceful body of water located on the outskirts of Saint-Vincent-de-Paul, on the Route de l'Étang. This natural site, surrounded by vegetation, offers a shaded and relaxing setting for family bargain hunting. Exhibitors have enough space to set up their stalls along the paths bordering the pond.

Saint-Vincent-de-Paul, cradle of charity

Saint-Vincent-de-Paul is a commune in the Landes region known as the birthplace of Monsieur Vincent, founder of the Lazarists and the Daughters of Charity. This historical heritage gives a special resonance to the solidarity events organized in the commune. The village, located between Dax and Peyrehorade, has an active associative fabric, of which the APEL is one of the pillars.

An ideal family outing

The setting of the Glacière pond is perfectly suited for a family outing. While parents search the stalls for bargains, children can enjoy the green spaces and the tranquility of the site. The catering provided on-site by volunteer parents offers homemade dishes at affordable prices. The atmosphere is warm and relaxed, reflecting the school community that comes together for this day of solidarity and bargain hunting pleasure.
