Grand Car Boot Sale of the Comité des Fêtes de Montjean

Grand Car Boot Sale of the Comité des Fêtes – Montjean (53320)

In Montjean (53320), a commune in the Loiron region in west-central Mayenne, the Comité des Fêtes organizes its Grand Car Boot Sale every May. The use of the adjective grand is not an empty promise: it is a significant event on the local calendar, bringing together a considerable number of exhibitors and visitors for a festive and lively day.

Montjean is a modest-sized commune but has a remarkably active associative life. The Comité des Fêtes, a key structure for local entertainment, ensures the organization of events throughout the year that bring residents together: village festivals, dancing meals, seasonal entertainment. The Grand Car Boot Sale in May is the highlight.

The organization of the Grand Car Boot Sale mobilizes the volunteers of the Comité des Fêtes for several weeks in advance: communication, exhibitor registration, space arrangement, catering, and entertainment. This volunteer effort is reflected in the quality of the welcome and the festive atmosphere that prevails throughout the day.

Exhibitors, coming from Montjean and the surrounding communes of the Loiron region, offer a wide variety of second-hand items: tableware and table arts, clothing for all ages, books and documents, toys and old games, tools, trinkets, and furniture. The Grand Car Boot Sale of Montjean is large enough for bargain hunters to spend several hours without exhausting all the offerings.

On-site catering, run by the volunteers of the Comité des Fêtes, generally offers grills, drinks, and homemade treats. Entry is free for visitors, and a festive atmosphere is guaranteed from morning to evening.
