Car boot sale Festi'Ponts – Ponts

Festi'Ponts Car Boot Sale in Ponts

The Festi'Ponts car boot sale in Ponts (50300) has reached its 3rd edition with confirmed success and a growing number of exhibitors: 70 exhibitors responded to the call for this event in the Pays d'Avranches, which is gaining momentum year after year.

The name Festi'Ponts — a contraction of "fête" (party) and the town's name — reveals the ambition of its organizers: to make this car boot sale not just a simple flea market, but a true local celebration with the appropriate entertainment and conviviality. The 70 exhibitors offer their items in a festive setting enhanced by entertainment, food stalls, and musical ambiance, transforming the day of treasure hunting into a real village festival.

With 70 exhibitors at its 3rd edition, Festi'Ponts has established itself as a serious event on the flea market calendar of the Pays d'Avranches. The exhibitors — mostly individuals — offer a varied selection of items: Norman furniture, tableware and table arts, clothing for all generations, books and old documents, toys and games, trinkets and curiosities, tools and garden equipment. The steady growth in the number of exhibitors since the 1st edition testifies to the positive word-of-mouth that has developed around this event.

Festi'Ponts' trajectory is promising: an exploratory 1st edition, a 2nd edition that confirmed the concept, and a 3rd edition that establishes the event in the local landscape. The organizers can aim for 100 exhibitors in the coming years if the momentum continues.

Ponts and the Pays d'Avranches

Ponts (50300) is a commune in the Pays d'Avranches, in the Manche department. With the postal code 50300, it shares this area with Avranches and several neighboring communes. Ponts derives its name from the historical presence of bridges over the Sélune river, which flows in the vicinity.

The Pays d'Avranches is an attractive territory in the south of Manche, halfway between the bocage and the sea. The proximity of the Mont-Saint-Michel Bay — a UNESCO World Heritage site — gives this territory significant tourist appeal, which also benefits local events like Festi'Ponts. Visitors to the Bay represent a potential audience for flea market and car boot sale events in the area.
