The Car Boot Sale for the benefit of the Youth Book Fair

Every year in November, the Association du Renouveau de la Bastide organizes a car boot sale under the Halle André Daguin in Mirande (32300). The unique aspect of this event is that its profits are entirely donated to the Mirande Youth Book Fair, a major cultural event in the Gascon bastide that takes place the following spring.

A Solidarity and Cultural Car Boot Sale

Beyond the simple sale of second-hand items, this car boot sale carries a strong solidarity and cultural dimension. By supporting the Youth Book Fair, exhibitors and visitors contribute to access to reading and culture for the children of the Gers region. The fair hosts renowned youth authors and illustrators each year, organizes writing and drawing workshops, and allows students from local schools to meet creators.

The Halle André Daguin in November

Holding the event under the Halle André Daguin is a wise choice for a November event. This covered hall, named in honor of the famous Gascon chef, offers a sheltered and bright space that allows exhibitors and visitors to enjoy the car boot sale in comfortable conditions despite the autumn season. Individuals offer clothing, toys, books, tableware, trinkets, and various objects.

The Association du Renouveau de la Bastide

The Association du Renouveau de la Bastide is a major player in the cultural and associative life of Mirande. By organizing this car boot sale for the benefit of the Youth Book Fair, it helps to revitalize the town and create connections between residents around unifying projects. The refreshment stand and light catering offered during the event enhance the conviviality of this day of solidarity bargain hunting.
