Comité des Fêtes Saint-Jean Car Boot Sale

The Comité des Fêtes Saint-Jean Car Boot Sale, a friendly neighborhood event

Each spring, the Comité des Fêtes Saint-Jean from the Plateau district of Nogent-le-Rotrou organizes its annual car boot sale on Place Winston Churchill. This local event brings together residents of the neighborhood and families from Nogent who wish to sort, sell, or simply browse among the stalls in a relaxed and good-natured atmosphere.

A car boot sale open to all individuals

The Comité des Fêtes Saint-Jean car boot sale is primarily an event for individuals: children's and adult clothing, crockery and kitchen utensils, books, games, toys, records, tools, and second-hand furniture are displayed on the stalls set up on Place Winston Churchill. The spirit is that of a friendly clear-out: everyone brings what they no longer use to offer it at a modest price to those who need it.

Registration is on-site on the morning of the event, without prior reservation. The rate is €2 per linear meter, making participation accessible to all. Exhibitors can set up from 6 am, and the event is open to the public from 8 am to 6 pm.

The Comité des Fêtes Saint-Jean, an active neighborhood association

The Comité des Fêtes Saint-Jean is one of the many neighborhood associations that liven up the social life of Nogent-le-Rotrou throughout the year. By organizing this annual car boot sale, it contributes to local social connection and allows families from all walks of life to come together around a simple and free event for visitors.

The food and drinks offered by the committee during the car boot sale contribute to this friendly atmosphere: people come not only to hunt for bargains but also to spend a pleasant time with family or neighbors in this Plateau district overlooking the Huisne valley.

Nogent-le-Rotrou, a town with many spring flea markets

Nogent-le-Rotrou offers several flea market and car boot sale events each spring that complement each other harmoniously: the Brocante du Pâty in April, the Collectors' Fair by the Société Philatélique du Perche, and this car boot sale by the Comité des Fêtes Saint-Jean. Together, they form a rich calendar for second-hand enthusiasts and collectors from the Perche region of Eure-et-Loir and the neighboring cantons of Sarthe and Orne.
