The Pont Caffino Car Boot Sale in Maisdon-sur-Sèvre

Every May, the Pont Caffino leisure base in Maisdon-sur-Sèvre transforms into a car boot sale area. This landscaped natural site, on the banks of the Sèvre Nantaise, offers an exceptional setting for this spring event that combines the circular economy with the discovery of a remarkable natural area in Loire-Atlantique.

Maisdon-sur-Sèvre, in the heart of the Nantes vineyard

Maisdon-sur-Sèvre is a commune in the Pays de Retz, located in the Nantes vineyard, on the banks of the Sèvre Nantaise. This renowned wine-growing region is the birthplace of Muscadet wines, produced for centuries on the granite and gneiss soils bordering the river. The commune benefits from a high-quality natural environment, with the meanders of the Sèvre Nantaise, the wet meadows, and the vineyards that make up a typical hedgerow and wine-growing landscape in southern Loire-Atlantique.

The Pont Caffino Leisure Base

The Pont Caffino leisure base takes its name from the bridge that spans the Sèvre Nantaise at this location. This developed site on the riverbank offers outdoor leisure facilities — playgrounds, green spaces, access to the river — making it a popular relaxation spot for locals and visitors. In May, when vegetation returns and the sun becomes more present, this natural site offers an idyllic setting for a car boot sale.

A Car Boot Sale in an Exceptional Natural Setting

The location of the car boot sale at the Pont Caffino leisure base gives the event a special dimension. Stallholders and visitors can enjoy not only the event itself but also the beauty of the natural site. Children can play on the leisure facilities while adults browse the stalls. The proximity of the Sèvre Nantaise invites visitors to extend their day with a walk along the riverbanks, in this landscape of vineyards and wet meadows characteristic of the Nantes vineyard.

A Spring Event in the Pays de Retz

Held in May, the Pont Caffino car boot sale benefits from the spring awakening of nature in the Pays de Retz. The vines begin to leaf, birds sing in the hedgerows, and the mild air invites people to go out and meet. This event is an ideal opportunity to discover Maisdon-sur-Sèvre and its exceptional environment while enjoying a day of treasure hunting in an extraordinary natural setting.
