The COS Car Boot Sale in Le Pouliguen

Every May, the Comité des Œuvres Sociales (COS) takes over the Place des Cirques in Le Pouliguen for its annual car boot sale. This event is part of the tradition of social purpose events organized by COS, structures active in supporting employees and their families, particularly in the public and para-public sectors.

Open and spacious, it offers an ideal setting for setting up car boot sale stalls. In May, the town begins to welcome the first tourists of the season, ensuring the event attracts a good number of local residents and passing visitors.

COS, a social and solidarity player

They regularly organize cultural, sporting, and social activities, including car boot sales. These events generate resources for the committee's social activities while offering participants a moment of sharing and circular economy.
