Car Boot Sale of the Vivre à la Maison de Retraite — Martel

The car boot sale of the association Vivre à la Maison de Retraite de Martel

In Martel (46600), the association Vivre à la Maison de Retraite works daily to improve the quality of life for residents of the local EHPAD. Among its fundraising activities, the annual car boot sale holds an important place: each year, it brings together individual exhibitors on the Place de la Fontanelle and Avenue de Nassogne for a great day of solidarity treasure hunting.

A car boot sale exclusively for individuals

The peculiarity of this event lies in its "individuals only" nature: only non-professional sellers are admitted as exhibitors. This guarantees an authentic atmosphere, close to a neighborhood car boot sale, where everyone comes to clear out their closets and find good deals. Clothes, toys, books, dishes, small furniture, and everyday objects are displayed on the stalls set up along the Avenue de Nassogne, a street that runs along the lower part of Martel.

An act of intergenerational solidarity

By participating in this car boot sale—whether as an exhibitor or a visitor—you directly contribute to the well-being of the residents of the Martel retirement home. The funds collected allow the association to organize animations, outings, and enriching activities for the elderly people housed in the establishment. A beautiful gesture of intergenerational solidarity, characteristic of the associative commitment in Quercy.

Organization and registration

Exhibitor registration is by phone only. The fee is set at €3 per linear meter. A refreshment stand and food service are available on-site for visitors and exhibitors.
