Car boot sale Lions Club — La Baule-Escoublac

The car boot sale of the Lions Club de La Baule Côte d'Amour

La Baule-Escoublac is one of France's most famous seaside resorts. Its 9-kilometer fine sandy beach, Belle Époque villas, and elegant atmosphere make it a popular destination every summer for holidaymakers from all over France and Europe. It is in this prestigious setting that the Lions Club de La Baule Côte d'Amour organizes its car boot sale on Place des Salines every July.

Place des Salines: a symbolic place for bargain hunting

The Place des Salines in La Baule-Escoublac is an emblematic space in the resort, its name recalling the salt-making history of the Guérande Peninsula. This large, flat, well-served area, easily accessible on foot from the resort's hotels and residences, is an ideal location for a summer car boot sale. Passing tourists can stop by spontaneously during their stroll, adding a cosmopolitan and curious audience to the usual local bargain hunters.

The Lions Club, decades of humanitarian commitment

The Lions Club de La Baule Côte d'Amour is one of the local branches of the international movement Lions Clubs International, the world's largest humanitarian organization with over 1.4 million members in 200 countries. In La Baule, the club carries out actions for isolated elderly people, disadvantaged children, people with disabilities, and other vulnerable populations on the Peninsula and in Loire-Atlantique. The profits from the annual car boot sale directly contribute to funding these solidarity projects.

Bargain hunting in La Baule in July

Organizing a car boot sale in July in La Baule has the advantage of maximum tourist traffic. Thousands of holidaymakers walk the streets and promenade of the resort daily. A car boot sale on Place des Salines is an opportunity for them to discover an authentically local event, different from tourist shops, and to leave with unusual souvenirs or quality items at affordable prices. For local exhibitors, it guarantees a large and diverse clientele.

The Guérande Peninsula and the Côte d'Amour

The Côte d'Amour, which includes La Baule, Le Pouliguen, La Turballe, Le Croisic, and Piriac-sur-Mer, is one of the most popular seaside destinations on the Atlantic coast. Its beaches, fishing ports, salt marshes, and rural hinterland make up a territory of exceptional richness. The Guérande Peninsula attracts between two and three million visitors each summer, making La Baule-Escoublac one of the nerve centers of this traffic.
