Car boot sale twinning committee Saint-Méen

The twinning committee's car boot sale, an associative tradition in Guipavas

Every year in March, the Saint-Méen twinning committee of Guipavas (29490) organizes its annual car boot sale at the Espace Jean-Yves Salaün. This friendly event, open to all individuals wishing to sell or buy second-hand items, takes place from 9 am to 5 pm. In 2026, it will be held on Sunday, March 29.

Twinning, a bridge between Guipavas and Thiéfosse

The twinning committee organizing this event ensures the bonds of friendship between Guipavas and its twin town of Thiéfosse, in the Vosges. These twinnings, born in the aftermath of World War II in a spirit of reconciliation and European friendship, continue to weave human, cultural, and sporting ties between French municipalities. The organization of events like this car boot sale allows the committee to finance exchange trips, sports meetings, and cultural activities carried out with the neighboring town in the Vosges.

A car boot sale in a covered and accessible space

The Espace Jean-Yves Salaün in Guipavas is a modern municipal facility that regularly hosts associative, sports, and cultural events. For this car boot sale, it offers exhibitors a covered and heated space, ideal for March days that are still cool in Brittany. Visitors can browse for treasures protected from potential spring showers.

Individuals welcome as exhibitors

The car boot sale is reserved for private exhibitors: clothing, toys, books, crockery, decorative items, and small furniture are the most commonly offered items. Entry is free for visitors. This day is also an opportunity to build neighborhood ties in the town of Guipavas, a town in the Brest metropolitan area with a particularly active social fabric.
