Car Boot Sale Terroir Market of Pommerieux

Car Boot Sale Terroir Market – Pommerieux (53400)

Every May 1st, the village of Pommerieux (53400), a commune in the canton of Craon in southwestern Mayenne, hosts an original event: the Car Boot Sale Terroir Market. This combination of a second-hand market and local produce gives the event a unique identity, rooted in the agricultural richness of the Craon region.

Pommerieux is a commune in the Oudon valley, in an agricultural area renowned for the quality of its produce: beef cattle, poultry, various crops. The Craon region is one of the most fertile areas in Mayenne, and the markets organized there naturally reflect this agricultural and food-producing vocation.

The Terroir Market accompanying the car boot sale allows local producers to present and sell their products directly to consumers: cheeses, charcuterie, vegetables, jams, honey, and other specialties from Mayenne. This agricultural and gastronomic dimension significantly enriches the event, attracting two types of visitors: bargain hunters and food lovers concerned with quality.

The car boot sale, meanwhile, brings together private sellers from the surrounding villages, offering their usual second-hand items: crockery, clothing, toys, books, tools, and trinkets. May 1st, a public holiday, contributes to the good attendance of both aspects of the event.

The whole event takes place in a rustic festive atmosphere, conducive to discovering local flavors and finding good deals among the car boot sale stalls. Entry is free for visitors.
