Joggeurs du Beffroi de Concarneau Swap Meet

Joggeurs du Beffroi de Concarneau Swap Meet

Every summer, the running club Les Joggeurs du Beffroi in Concarneau organizes its Swap Meet, one of the major flea market events of the summer season in town. The event brings together about 80 private exhibitors who offer, in a lively summer atmosphere, clothing, toys, books, tableware, decorative items, and all sorts of second-hand goods.

The event is usually held at the Criée parking lot (quai Carnot) or Place de l'Hôtel de Ville, from 8:30 AM to 6 PM. Concarneau's location in the middle of the tourist season gives this swap meet a particularly large audience: in addition to locals, tourists and holidaymakers staying in the region (campsites, furnished rentals, hotels) represent a significant portion of the public. Club volunteers provide light catering on site.

Les Joggeurs du Beffroi: a sports club at the heart of the city

Les Joggeurs du Beffroi are a running and jogging club based in Concarneau. The name refers to the medieval watchtower Beffroi of Concarneau, which overlooks the Ville Close and is one of the city's symbols. The club brings together runners of all levels, from beginners to competitors, and organizes training runs, local races, and participation in regional events.

Like many Breton sports clubs, the Joggeurs du Beffroi organize popular events to finance their activities: purchase of equipment, organization of races, travel expenses. Their summer Swap Meet has become a highlight of their association's calendar and an eagerly awaited event for locals and visitors alike.

Concarneau in summer: a tourist town and fishing port

In summer, Concarneau is one of the most popular tourist destinations in Finistère. The Ville Close—a medieval citadel on an island, unique in Brittany—attracts hundreds of thousands of visitors each year. The Musée de la Pêche (Fishing Museum), located in the Ville Close, is one of the most visited museums in Brittany. The fine sandy beaches (Sables Blancs, Cabellou...), the marina, and the fishing port complete the town's tourist offerings.

By organizing their Swap Meet in the heart of summer, the Joggeurs du Beffroi take advantage of this influx to attract a large and diverse audience, bringing together locals and holidaymakers for a festive and friendly day.
