Geek Grenier NAGW — Nantes

Geek Grenier NAGW: The Geek Culture Car Boot Sale in Nantes

Every April, the Maison de quartier de l'Île at 2 rue Conan Mériadec in Nantes hosts the Geek Grenier NAGW, a unique thematic car boot sale in Loire-Atlantique. Organized by Accoord, the network of neighborhood houses in Nantes Métropole, this event brings together over 3000 visitors passionate about video games, manga, board games, figurines, pop culture, and geek universes in general.

A 100% Thematic Car Boot Sale

Unlike a traditional car boot sale, the Geek Grenier NAGW is exclusively dedicated to items related to geek culture: video games from all consoles and eras (NES, SNES, Game Boy, PS1, PS2, Saturn, Dreamcast cartridges, etc.), manga and comics, collectible figurines and statues, goodies and merchandise, board games and role-playing games, trading cards (Pokémon, Magic, Yu-Gi-Oh!), anime, cosplay, and accessories. This specialization guarantees a coherent and quality offering for collectors and retrogaming enthusiasts.

Over 3000 Visitors for an Electric Atmosphere

The attendance at Geek Grenier NAGW, with over 3000 visitors, testifies to the growing popularity of geek culture and the market for retro and geek collectibles. The event attracts seasoned collectors looking to find rare gems — a rare complete-in-box game, a limited edition figurine, an unobtainable manga — but also many young enthusiasts discovering the scene of selling and sharing among amateurs. The atmosphere is both relaxed and lively, with expert discussions and hidden treasures being discovered.
