Car boot sale and LotoBouse of Saint-Hilaire-des-Landes

A car boot sale combined with an unusual LotoBouse

Saint-Hilaire-des-Landes offers a festive and original event every spring: a classic car boot sale combined with a LotoBouse. The principle of this rural lottery is simple and joyful: a cow is released into a grid-lined field, and the square where it leaves its first dropping determines the winning number. Lottery tickets are sold for €2 in partner shops and on site on the day. While spectators watch the cow's movements, bargain hunters browse the stalls of the car boot sale.

Saint-Hilaire-des-Landes, a village in the Fougères region

A rural commune of about 1,400 inhabitants located 10 km southwest of Fougères, Saint-Hilaire-des-Landes is set in a preserved Breton hedgerow landscape, between meadows and live hedges. The village benefits from a very active associative life driven by the Saint-Hilaire-en-Fête committee, which organizes several unifying events throughout the year. The LotoBouse has become one of the most original and anticipated events in the Fougères region.

Conviviality and good deals await

Entry is free and the atmosphere is particularly festive. Refreshments and food are provided on site by the committee's volunteers. The car boot sale allows individuals to offer clothes, toys, furniture, and various items, while the LotoBouse adds a touch of typically rural humor and conviviality.
