The Gouesnou Car Boot Sales: The Ascension Weekend Event

Each year around Ascension weekend, Gouesnou (29850) transforms into a treasure hunter's paradise. The car boot sales organized at the Jean Gourmelon sports hall have become one of the flagship events in the flea market calendar for the Brest metropolitan area, attracting sellers and visitors from all over the region.

A Well-Established Spring Tradition

Ascension weekend, which falls every year in May, is traditionally associated with major flea markets and car boot sales in France. In Gouesnou, this event has established itself over the years as a must-attend. The long Ascension week offers residents the opportunity to clear out their attics and offer their items to buyers from Brest Métropole and neighboring towns.

The Jean Gourmelon Sports Hall

The event takes place in the large Jean Gourmelon sports hall, rue du Gymnase in the Penquer district of Gouesnou. This versatile sports facility has a large indoor space capable of hosting about a hundred sellers, with ample parking nearby. Being held indoors ensures the comfort of participants regardless of the Breton weather conditions.

All Sorts of Items

As with any private car boot sale, the offerings are very diverse: adult and children's clothing, shoes, toys and games, books and comics, crockery and knick-knacks, furniture, small appliances, tools, decorations, and everyday items. The Ascension car boot sale is the perfect opportunity to find bargains before the summer holidays, in a relaxed and friendly atmosphere.
