Grand Car Boot Sale of Autumn in Moliets-et-Maa

The autumn car boot sale in Moliets-et-Maa

Every autumn, the Place de la Bastide in Moliets-et-Maa is transformed into a vast marketplace for bargains. The big car boot sale, organized by the Garenn'Club — the commune's youth club — has become a must-attend event for bargain hunters in the south of the Landes. The event takes place in the heart of the village, in a pleasant and spacious setting that makes it easy to wander between the stalls.

A solidarity and friendly event

Beyond bargain hunting, this car boot sale has a solidarity dimension since the profits help finance the Garenn'Club's activities and outings throughout the year. The exhibitors, exclusively individuals, offer a wide variety of items: clothing, toys, books, dishes, small furniture, and trinkets of all kinds. Exhibitors are welcomed from 7 a.m. for careful setup before opening to the public at 9 a.m. Registration is mandatory and must be done before the Wednesday preceding the event, which allows for optimal organization of the pitches.

Moliets-et-Maa, a seaside resort in the Landes

Moliets-et-Maa is a popular seaside resort on the Landes coast, renowned for its fine sandy beaches, its 18-hole golf course, and its river. The seminar center, located on Place de la Bastide, offers an ideal space for this type of event with its parking and easy access. In autumn, the commune regains its tranquility after the summer bustle, creating a relaxed and authentic atmosphere conducive to bargain hunting and encounters. It is a time when year-round residents reclaim their village and organize events in their image.

Catering and conviviality

The Garenn'Club provides catering on site with bourrets (traditional Landes fritters), wood-fired grills, crispy fries, and homemade pastries prepared by the families of the club's teenagers. A refreshment stand is available to quench your thirst throughout the day. This gourmet offering contributes to the warm and family-friendly atmosphere of the event, and it is not uncommon to see visitors lingering around the tables to prolong the pleasure of this autumn day.
