23rd L'Hermitage Car Boot Sale

350 exhibitors in the streets of L'Hermitage

For over two decades, the L'Hermitage car boot sale has enlivened the village each summer with around 350 private exhibitors. Rue de Pacé is the main artery of the event, complemented by adjacent streets that form a vast bargain hunting route. From clothing to toys, books to crockery, furniture to trinkets, the offerings are varied and the prices attractive. The atmosphere is warm, marked by the village spirit that characterizes this human-sized town.

A Quarter Century of Tradition

The 23rd edition testifies to the longevity and vitality of this event. Local volunteers invest themselves year after year to organize exhibitor reception, signage, catering, and entertainment. On-site, galettes-saucisses, crêpes, and cold drinks provide refreshments between finds. The event contributes to the social life of the town and the funding of associative activities.

L'Hermitage, a peaceful town west of Rennes

A commune of 4,500 inhabitants located 10 kilometers west of Rennes on the axis to Montfort-sur-Meu, L'Hermitage is a peaceful residential town with a lively town center. The Saint-Melaine church, the hedgerow heritage, and the proximity of the Brocéliande forest make it a sought-after place to live. The annual car boot sale is part of the tradition of conviviality that characterizes this village on the outskirts of the metropolis.
