Car boot sale of the Comité des Jeunes in Saint-Florent-le-Vieil

The Comité des Jeunes of Saint-Florent-le-Vieil (49410) organizes its annual car boot sale in this remarkable village in the Anjou Loire Valley. This festive event, animated by local youth, is an opportunity to gather around a friendly market while discovering or rediscovering this exceptional site.

Private exhibitors offer a varied selection of items: clothing and accessories, toys and games, books and comics, records and cassettes, tableware and decorative objects, DIY equipment, trinkets and curiosities. The relaxed and joyful atmosphere instilled by the Comité des Jeunes gives this event a festive and convivial character that distinguishes it from ordinary car boot sales.

The Comité des Jeunes, an active association in the local life of Saint-Florent, organizes several events throughout the year to liven up the commune and fund its projects. The car boot sale is one of its main sources of income, allowing it to finance outings, equipment, and cultural projects for the village's young people.

Saint-Florent-le-Vieil, a remarkable site in the Loire Valley

Saint-Florent-le-Vieil (49410) is one of the most famous villages in Maine-et-Loire. Perched on its rocky hill overlooking the Loire, with the Abbey Church of Saint-Florent dominating the panorama, the village is a remarkable site in the Loire Valley, a UNESCO World Heritage site. It was from this spot that, in 1793, the Vendeans crossed the Loire en masse during the Vendean Wars, an episode immortalized by Alphonse de Châteaubriant.

The Museum of Art and History of Saint-Florent-le-Vieil, the sculptures by David d'Angers in the abbey church, and the panoramas of the Loire make it a must-see tourist destination in the Pays de la Loire region. The commune is now part of Mauges-sur-Loire (49620) while retaining its strong identity.
