The Firefighters' Car Boot Sale in Tharon Plage

Every May, the Firefighters of Saint-Michel-Chef-Chef organize their car boot sale on the market square of Tharon Plage. This spring event benefits from an ideal location by the sea, in the coastal town of Saint-Michel-Chef-Chef, to bring together private exhibitors and visitors in a friendly atmosphere characteristic of the seaside resorts of the Côte de Jade.

Tharon Plage, Seaside Resort on the Côte de Jade

Tharon Plage is the seaside district of Saint-Michel-Chef-Chef, a town in the Pays de Retz located between Saint-Nazaire and Pornic. With its large fine sandy beaches bordered by the Atlantic Ocean and its lively shops, Tharon is one of the most popular seaside resorts on the Côte de Jade. The market square, the central hub of the resort's commercial life, regularly hosts popular events and gatherings.

A Car Boot Sale for the Benefit of Firefighters

The Saint-Michel-Chef-Chef rescue center ensures the protection of residents and the many holidaymakers who visit the Côte de Jade each year. The organization of this annual car boot sale helps to finance additional equipment, support young firefighter associations, and build ties with the local population. The participation of volunteers in uniform contributes to the visibility and goodwill that firefighters enjoy with the general public.

Participation Conditions

Pitches are available for between 15 and 17 euros depending on their size. The event is open to individuals wishing to sell their second-hand items. Visitors have free access to the event. The seaside location and the spring timing, before the summer tourist influx, allow for a pleasant day of bargain hunting in a pleasant maritime setting.

The Associative Life of Volunteer Firefighters

Volunteer firefighters play an essential role in the life of rural and coastal communities in Loire-Atlantique. In addition to their rescue and civil security missions, they are involved in local life through various awareness and fundraising actions. The annual car boot sale is one of these opportunities to strengthen the bonds between firefighters and the inhabitants of Saint-Michel-Chef-Chef and surrounding towns.
