Car boot sale of the Mignières firefighters

The car boot sale of the Mignières firefighters, an unmissable summer event

Every summer, the Mignières firefighters' association mobilizes its volunteers to organize one of the most anticipated events in the commune's festive calendar. The car boot sale held in Place des Granges, in front of the Mignières town hall, is much more than a simple flea market: it is a moment of conviviality and solidarity that unites the entire local community around the firefighters' association.

An event for the benefit of the firefighters' association

The proceeds from this day allow the Mignières firefighters' association to finance its social activities, equipment, and outings. By participating in this car boot sale, visitors and sellers directly support the essential work of the firefighters in the commune and its surroundings. It is an opportunity to pay tribute to these men and women who ensure the safety of the inhabitants of Beauce chartraine.

50 to 100 sellers, private and professional

The event brings together between 50 and 100 sellers, including private individuals clearing out their attics and a few flea market professionals. Stalls line the Place des Granges and offer a wide variety of items: adult and children's clothing, furniture, crockery, books, records, toys, tools, appliances, and trinkets of all kinds. Early birds are advised to get up early: the event opens at 6:00 AM for those looking for early morning bargains.

A warm welcome from dawn

A popular feature for regulars of this event, refreshments and food are available from opening time to welcome early exhibitors and visitors. Coffee, pastries, and light snacks are available to sustain you before browsing the stalls. Entry is free for visitors, and sellers pay a modest fee per linear meter.
