Car boot sale Badminton — Saint-Michel-Chef-Chef

The Badminton club's car boot sale in Tharon Plage

In June, the Saint-Michel-Chef-Chef Badminton club takes over the Tharon Plage summer market, at 55 avenue du Mail, for its annual car boot sale. With a particularly accessible rate of 4 euros per linear meter, this event stands out for its desire to open participation to as many people as possible. Residents, early season holidaymakers, and bargain hunters from the Côte de Jade gather to rummage through second-hand items.

Badminton in Saint-Michel-Chef-Chef

The Saint-Michel-Chef-Chef Badminton club is a key sports player in the town. Accessible to all levels and ages, badminton brings together a community of passionate players who regularly meet in local sports halls. The club offers training sessions and participates in departmental and regional competitions. The organization of the annual car boot sale allows it to finance the purchase of shuttlecocks, rackets, and cover affiliation fees to sports federations.

A democratic price for broad participation

The rate of 4 euros per linear meter is one of the most accessible on the Côte de Jade. This deliberately affordable pricing policy reflects the club's philosophy: to encourage participation from as many people as possible, promote the circular economy, and allow all residents, regardless of their financial situation, to take part in the event. Even with few items to sell, the low registration cost makes it financially attractive for exhibitors.

The Tharon market square, an ideal location

The Tharon summer market, located at 55 avenue du Mail, is a central and lively spot in the seaside resort. This commercial street on the seafront is easily accessible on foot from the beaches and tourist accommodations. In June, the resort is beginning to regain its summer buzz, attracting a growing flow of visitors who represent an ideal potential audience for the car boot sale.

A tradition of sport and solidarity

The sports clubs of Saint-Michel-Chef-Chef have developed a tradition of mutual aid and complementarity in organizing their events. Several clubs successively use the same sites, particularly the Tharon market square, for their annual car boot sales. This shared scheduling allows the town to benefit from regular activity throughout the spring and summer, for the benefit of residents and tourists.
