Car boot sale Claire Cité — Rezé

The Claire Cité Car Boot Sale: Rezé's spring event with 100 stalls

Every April, the square Charles Richard in Rezé (44400) comes alive to host the Claire Cité Car Boot Sale. With its 100+ stalls, this popular neighborhood event has become one of the unmissable spring gatherings in Rezé. The registration fee is set at 12 euros for 3 linear meters, a reasonable price that encourages participation from as many people as possible.

Claire Cité: a neighborhood with a rich historical past

Claire Cité is one of the historic neighborhoods of Rezé, a commune in the Nantes metropolitan area located on the south bank of the Loire. This area, which underwent significant urbanization in the 20th century, has retained green spaces and squares that contribute to the quality of life for its residents. Square Charles Richard, with its century-old trees and shaded paths, provides an ideal setting for the spring car boot sale. The history of the neighborhood blends with the finds of bargain hunters in a unique atmosphere.

Over 100 stalls for all tastes

More than a hundred private sellers set up their stalls each year at square Charles Richard. The diversity of goods offered is one of the strengths of this car boot sale: clothing for the whole family, toys and board games, books and comics, vinyl records and CDs, crockery and tableware, decorations and knick-knacks, tools, bicycles, and many other second-hand items. This wide range of offerings explains the influx of visitors who come from all over Rezé and neighboring towns.

An event rooted in neighborhood life

The Claire Cité Car Boot Sale is more than just a second-hand market: it's a moment of neighborhood life, a highlight of local social activity in Rezé. Neighbors meet, conversations start, children play among the stalls while their bargain-hunting parents haggle with sellers. The organization is managed by neighborhood volunteers who ensure the quality and friendliness of the event each year.
