Car boot sale by the League Against Cancer – Ajaccio

A charitable car boot sale for cancer research

Every year, on May 1st, the Corsica-du-Sud Committee of the League Against Cancer organizes its annual car boot sale in Ajaccio. This popular and charitable event takes place in the parking lot of the E. Leclerc Baleone supermarket, in the Baleone commercial area, on the outskirts of the city. From 7 am to 2 pm, exhibitors set up their stalls with everyday items, clothes, books, toys, and all sorts of finds.

The proceeds from this day are entirely donated to the departmental committee's actions: support for patients and their loved ones, funding research, prevention, and awareness among the Corsican population. Participating in this car boot sale, whether as an exhibitor or a buyer, also means contributing to a national cause of solidarity.

The League Against Cancer in Corsica-du-Sud

The League Against Cancer is one of the leading French charities in the field of health. Its Corsica-du-Sud Committee (20A) is active throughout the department, mobilizing volunteers and donors to fund oncology research and support cancer patients on the Island of Beauty.

The May 1st car boot sale is one of the committee's flagship fundraising events. It is part of the national tradition of League car boot sales, organized simultaneously in many French departments, creating a collective wave of solidarity across the country.

The Leclerc Baleone parking lot: an ideal reception space

The E. Leclerc Baleone supermarket parking lot offers a spacious and easily accessible setting for this event. Located in the Baleone commercial area, west of Ajaccio, it benefits from good road access and a large space where exhibitors can comfortably set up their stands. The May 1st public holiday ensures good public availability and a rush of visitors looking for bargains while participating in a charitable action.

How to participate as an exhibitor

Individuals and professionals wishing to have a stall can register at the committee's office, located at route du Stiletto in Ajaccio, on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Fridays from 2 pm to 5 pm. A refreshment stand and catering service are provided on-site for exhibitors and visitors, contributing to the friendly atmosphere of this militant and festive day.
