Car boot sale of Billé

A friendly car boot sale in Pays de Fougères

The Billé car boot sale is a summer event that enlivens the village center of this rural commune in northeastern Ille-et-Vilaine. Private exhibitors offer a wide selection of second-hand items: clothes, toys, trinkets, tableware, books, tools, small furniture, appliances, and flea market objects. The event attracts bargain hunters from the Pays de Fougères and the Vitréais region in a relaxed atmosphere.

Billé, a granite village in the Fougères countryside

Billé is a commune of about 1,200 inhabitants located 8 km southeast of Fougères, in the Fougères Agglomération urban community. The village is situated on a granite plateau covered with hedgerows, in the typical landscape of the Marches de Bretagne. The village center retains its Saint-Pierre granite church, traditional farms, and a network of sunken lanes winding between fields and hedges. The proximity of the Fougères forest and the medieval Château de Fougères—one of the most imposing in Europe—enhances the area's appeal.
