Car boot sale of Sixt-sur-Aff

The car boot sale of Sixt-sur-Aff

Every year in May, the village of Sixt-sur-Aff (35550) organizes a car boot sale that attracts bargain hunters from the Aff valley and the south of Ille-et-Vilaine. Private exhibitors offer a wide range of second-hand items: clothes, toys, books, crockery, trinkets, tools, and decorative objects. The event takes place in a friendly village atmosphere, conducive to exchanges and good deals.

Sixt-sur-Aff, a village of character in the Aff valley

Sixt-sur-Aff is a commune of about 2,300 inhabitants located in the south of Ille-et-Vilaine, on the border of Morbihan. The village is crossed by the river Aff, which gives it a remarkable landscape setting. Sixt-sur-Aff is famous for having been the residence of the actor Michel Serrault, after whom a school is named. The local heritage includes the parish church, the communal body of water, and numerous hiking trails in the surrounding hedged countryside.

A spring event in the Breton bocage

The car boot sale is traditionally held on the second Sunday of May, a period when the Aff valley takes on its most beautiful spring colors. Entry is free for visitors. Parking is easy in the village center, and a refreshment stand is usually offered by the organizers.
