Car boot sale Germaine Tillion school — Nantes

The Germaine Tillion Car boot sale: APE Les Tillonnais livens up the neighborhood

Every April, the APE Les Tillonnais — Parents' Association of Germaine Tillion school — organizes its annual car boot sale at 8 cours Jeanne Allain in Nantes. This spring event brings together private sellers around affordable pitches to fund the children's school projects.

€10 for 3 meters: an affordable price

APE Les Tillonnais has opted for a very affordable pitch price: €10 for 3 meters. This pricing policy makes the car boot sale accessible to the maximum number of participants, from parents and neighbors to residents of the area who want to get rid of unused items. This generous format ensures a varied and abundant offering for visitors, who can always find a bargain among the stalls.

Germaine Tillion school, a tribute to a great resistance fighter

The Germaine Tillion school is named after this French ethnologist, resistance fighter, and deportee (1907-2008), a major figure in 20th-century memory. Named Righteous Among the Nations and Grand Cross of the Legion of Honour, Germaine Tillion symbolizes intellectual and moral courage. Naming a school after her transmits the values of resistance, curiosity, and commitment to children. APE Les Tillonnais — whose name refers to "Tillion" — perpetuates this tribute through its involvement in school life.

A committed Parents' Association for its students

The APE Les Tillonnais Parents' Association is an essential player in the life of the Germaine Tillion school. By organizing the annual car boot sale, it generates funds to finance school trips, educational materials, artistic or sports instructors, and cultural projects. Every pitch sold and every visitor welcomed directly contributes to enriching the school life of the children at the school.
