Grand Car Boot Sale of GAB in Saint-Brice-en-Coglès

600 exhibitors in the heart of Coglais

Every September, the village of Saint-Brice-en-Coglès — a delegated commune of Maen Roch (35460) — transforms into a huge open-air flea market. Organized by the GAB (Groupement d'Animation Bricéen), this grand car boot sale hosts nearly 600 exhibitors who take over the streets, squares, and parking lots of the village center. You can find everything: clothes, toys, crockery, tools, furniture, books, vinyl records, trinkets, and collector's items. The turnout is considerable, with families coming from all over the Pays de Fougères, the neighboring Norman bocage, and even Rennes to enjoy this day of treasure hunting.

A flagship event in northern Ille-et-Vilaine

The GAB car boot sale has established itself as one of the largest car boot sales in the 35 department. Coglais, a rural area located between Fougères and Saint-Hilaire-du-Harcouët, fully benefits from this event which boosts local commerce. The cafés, bakeries, and restaurants in the village are running at full capacity. Food stalls — crepes, galette-saucisses, fries, drinks — are dotted along the route to recharge your batteries between finds.

Friendly atmosphere and guaranteed bargains

Entry is free for visitors. Exhibitors, both individuals and professionals, benefit from spacious pitches along the sidewalks and in the village squares. Parking is organized on the outskirts of the village with signage. The atmosphere is family-friendly and relaxed, typical of the great end-of-summer Breton flea markets.
