Car boot sale of Sainte-Marie-du-Bois

The car boot sale of Sainte-Marie-du-Bois

Sainte-Marie-du-Bois, a small village in Orne located at the gates of the Écouves forest between La Ferté-Macé and Carrouges, hosts its annual car boot sale. This event brings together individuals from the area in an authentic village atmosphere.

At the gates of the Écouves forest

The village benefits from an exceptional natural environment, with the Écouves forest — the highest forested massif in western France — in immediate proximity. The car boot sale is an opportunity to discover this preserved territory of the Normandie-Maine Regional Natural Park while finding good deals.

An authentic village car boot sale

As in many small communes in Orne, the Sainte-Marie-du-Bois car boot sale is a human-sized event, where everyone knows each other and the atmosphere is relaxed. Exhibitors offer crockery, clothing, toys, books, and trinkets, in the typical setting of the Orne bocage.
