About Car boot sale Betton

The Betton car boot sale is held on the picturesque Place de la Cale, by the canal d'Ille-et-Rance. Organized by the Amicale du Personnel Communal, this spring event brings together exhibitors and bargain hunters in a unique bucolic setting on the outskirts of Rennes. Strollers on the towpath mingle with bargain hunters for a day of conviviality and fresh air.

Bargain hunting by the canal d'Ille-et-Rance

The Place de la Cale in Betton offers an enchanting setting for this annual car boot sale. Bordered by the canal d'Ille-et-Rance and its shaded towpaths, this esplanade hosts private exhibitors offering clothes, toys, books, crockery, furniture, and various items. The green surroundings and proximity to the water create a soothing atmosphere that distinguishes this car boot sale from more urban events. Pedestrian and bicycle strollers, numerous on the towpath, willingly stop to browse the stalls.

The Amicale du Personnel Communal in charge

The Amicale du Personnel Communal de Betton organizes this car boot sale with the support of the town hall. Volunteers ensure the welcome of exhibitors, the allocation of pitches, and on-site catering. The atmosphere is family-friendly and relaxed, reflecting this residential town with particularly rich associative life. The refreshment stand offers cold drinks and snacks to accompany the day of bargain hunting.
