About Diwan Sale Nantes
The Diwan School Car Boot Sale in Nantes
Every June, the Diwan school in Nantes invites exhibitors and visitors to its grand car boot sale on Place Émile Zola, in the Zola district of the city. Diwan, an associative movement founded in 1977, carries a unique educational project: immersion education in the Breton language, from kindergarten to high school. This annual event is both a festive gathering and an act of support for this unique pedagogy.
150 Exhibitors on Place Émile Zola
Place Émile Zola, in the heart of the eponymous district in the south of Nantes, offers an ideal setting to host up to 150 exhibitors. Individuals, families, and amateur second-hand dealers offer a wide selection of second-hand items: clothing for children and adults, toys, books—sometimes in Breton—crockery, decorations, childcare equipment, and many other items.
Registration Fees and Conditions
Exhibitors can register in advance for a preferential rate of €13 per space, or pay €15 directly on-site on the day of the event. This two-tiered pricing encourages early registration, allowing organizers to best plan the allocation of spaces on the square.
The Diwan School and Breton Bilingualism
Diwan (“seed” or “bud” in Breton) was born from the desire of Breton families to pass on their language and culture to new generations. The Diwan network now has schools, middle schools, and high schools throughout Brittany and Loire-Atlantique. The Nantes school, established in the city for several decades, welcomes children whose families want a French-Breton bilingual education based on immersion pedagogy.
An Event Supporting Bilingual Education
The proceeds from this car boot sale directly contribute to the financing of the school's activities: educational trips, purchase of equipment, organization of cultural events related to the Breton language. By participating in this car boot sale, exhibitors and visitors concretely support an educational project that preserves the linguistic and cultural richness of Brittany in the heart of the Nantes metropolis.
