The Car Boot Sale by Association du Plan B in La Turballe

Every June, the Association du Plan B takes over the Place du Marché in La Turballe for its annual car boot sale. This popular event attracts local sellers and visitors eager to find bargains among a wide variety of second-hand items: clothing, books, crockery, toys, records, and trinkets of all kinds.

La Turballe, pearl of the Guérande peninsula

La Turballe is a maritime town in the Loire-Atlantique department, nestled on the Guérande peninsula between the salt marshes and the Atlantic Ocean. As the leading fishing port in Loire-Atlantique, the town has a lively town center with its fish market, shops, and market square, which transforms into a treasure hunting ground in June. The mild Atlantic climate and the beauty of the coastal landscapes make this car boot sale a pleasant event for the whole family.

An association involved in local life

The Association du Plan B is part of the local fabric of La Turballe, aiming to foster social connections and offer cultural and leisure activities to the town's residents. The annual organization of this car boot sale helps fund the association's projects while enlivening the town center at the start of the summer season.

Participation conditions

Pitches are offered at a rate of €10 for 4 linear meters, an accessible price that allows many individuals to participate. Everyone can clear out their closets, attic, or basement and find new buyers for items they no longer need. This approach promotes waste reduction and the circular economy at a local level.

An early summer event

Held in June, this car boot sale marks the beginning of the summer season in La Turballe. It benefits from the influx of holidaymakers and tourists who begin to flock to the Guérande peninsula, offering a wider audience to the sellers. The Place du Marché, in the heart of the town, provides an ideal setting for visitors to stroll and discover hidden treasures.
