Car boot sale of Saint-Côme-de-Fresné

A car boot sale facing the sea

The Car boot sale of Saint-Côme-de-Fresné benefits from a unique setting: the beach parking lot, Route de la Mer. Exhibitors set up their stalls just steps from the ocean, offering bargain hunters an outdoor flea market experience with a view of the English Channel. A rare and sought-after location that adds to the charm of this event.

The Festival Committee in charge

The event is organized by the Festival Committee of Saint-Côme-de-Fresné, a local association that enlivens the village throughout the year. Volunteers ensure the welcome of exhibitors, signage, and refreshments. May 1st, Labor Day, is traditionally a good time for car boot sales in Normandy.

Between Gold Beach and Omaha Beach

This commune on the Calvados coast attracts many visitors, combining memorial tourism and seaside leisure. The May 1st car boot sale benefits from this spring tourist traffic.

A village on the Bessin coast
