The Saint-Sébastien Car Boot Sale: Treasure Hunting in the Most Beautiful Village on the Peninsula

Every August, the Place Saint-Sébastien in Piriac-sur-Mer (44420) transforms into a large car boot sale market. The Entente Villageoise of Piriac organizes this summer event in one of the most emblematic places in the village: the square named after the patron saint of fishermen and archers, Saint Sebastian, in the heart of this coastal town on the Guérande Peninsula. A beautiful setting for an unforgettable day of treasure hunting.

Piriac-sur-Mer: One of the Most Beautiful Villages on the Loire Coast

Piriac-sur-Mer is a coastal village on the Guérande Peninsula, in the northwest of Loire-Atlantique. This fishing village, with its cobbled streets, granite houses, and breathtaking views of the Atlantic, is one of the most preserved and charming villages on the Breton coast. The Place Saint-Sébastien, surrounded by old stones and bathed in summer light, is the beating heart of the village, a place for locals and its many visitors to meet.

The Entente Villageoise: The Link Between Residents and Traditions

The Entente Villageoise is one of those volunteer associations that keep the small coastal towns of Brittany alive. It organizes events throughout the year that strengthen the social bond between permanent residents and holidaymakers, between Breton maritime traditions and the modernity of a popular seaside resort. Its August car boot sale is one of the highlights of the Piriac summer, eagerly awaited each year by Piriac regulars and by tourists discovering this postcard village for the first time.
