The Festival Cap Couleurs car boot sale in Nantes

Every year in May, the Chantenay annex town hall, place de la Liberté, hosts the Festival Cap Couleurs car boot sale.

The Cap Couleurs Festival and the Chantenay district

Cap Couleurs is an associative festival rooted in the Chantenay district, west of Nantes, on the banks of the Loire. This popular and free festival celebrates the cultural diversity and richness of local and global artistic expressions. Concerts, shows, exhibitions, workshops, and children's activities form an eclectic program that brings together the residents of the district and people from all over Nantes.

The Chantenay annex town hall, a living space for the district

The Chantenay annex town hall, located place de la Liberté, is one of the centers of associative and civic life in the district. Its forecourt and surroundings form a natural meeting space, ideal for hosting neighborhood markets and events. The place de la Liberté, with its symbolic character, adds an extra dimension to this festive and solidarity event.

Chantenay, a district in motion

The Chantenay district, formerly an independent commune attached to Nantes in 1908, has retained its village character within the city. With its sloping streets leading down to the Loire, its workers' houses, and its green spaces, Chantenay is a charming district that lives to the rhythm of its many associations and local initiatives. The Cap Couleurs car boot sale contributes to the associative vitality of this emblematic district of Nantes.
