Car boot sale Place de l'Église — Saint-Just-Malmont

The charitable car boot sale of the Malmont church square

Saint-Just-Malmont (43240), a commune in the northeast of Haute-Loire, has among its hamlets that of Malmont, whose church is a remarkable architectural landmark. Every year in April, the square surrounding this bell tower transforms into a solidarity car boot sale, for the benefit of the association 42 Bouchons du Cœur. An event that is both festive and committed, open from 7 am to 4 pm.

The association 42 Bouchons du Cœur, beneficiary of the proceeds

The association 42 Bouchons du Cœur works to collect plastic bottle caps, an activity with concrete social benefits. The collected caps are sold to recyclers, and the funds raised are used to finance medical and paramedical equipment for disabled people or those in situations of dependence. Donating the profits from the car boot sale to this association is a strong civic act, which gives an additional dimension to the event.

Prices and participation conditions for exhibitors

Exhibitors pay a pitch fee of 3 euros per meter. Opening to exhibitors is from 6 am, allowing them to set up before visitors arrive at 7 am. Only individuals are allowed to exhibit, which guarantees the authenticity of the car boot sale and the quality of the goods offered. The car boot sale closes at 4 pm.

The setting of the Malmont church

The church of Malmont is the identity core of this hamlet of Saint-Just-Malmont. The square surrounding it offers a clear and easily accessible space to host the car boot sale stalls. Visitors can admire the architecture of the place while browsing the stands, creating a particularly pleasant atmosphere for this spring treasure hunt day.
