Grand Car Boot Sale of Motte Vauvert — Château-Gontier (53200), July
In July, the Motte Vauvert district in Château-Gontier (53200) hosts its Grand Car Boot Sale, which brings together around 250 exhibitors in a friendly summer atmosphere. This event is one of the unmissable summer gatherings in this town in southern Mayenne.
Château-Gontier-sur-Mayenne is the main town in southern Mayenne, a town of character built on the banks of the Mayenne river, known for its nationally renowned calf market and the charm of its old streets. The Motte Vauvert district, which gives its name to the car boot sale, is a residential area of the town.
With around 250 exhibitors, the Grand Car Boot Sale of Motte Vauvert is a respectable-sized event that ensures a wide diversity of offerings. Individuals and a few professionals offer the full range of second-hand items: clothing and accessories, books and documents, crockery and tableware, toys and board games, records and music, light furniture, tools, trinkets, and decorative objects.
The car boot sale taking place in July, in the height of the summer season, encourages participation from tourists and holidaymakers passing through the Pays de la Loire region. As Château-Gontier is a popular tourist stop on the route of the Mayenne valley, visitors can take advantage of this car boot sale to extend their exploration of the town and its surroundings.
