A back-to-school tradition in the Anjou bocage

The weather, generally mild in early autumn in Maine-et-Loire, encourages the participation of exhibitors and visitors. For 26 editions, the organizers have successfully retained a large audience that makes the trip every year, contributing to the attractiveness of the town and the event's reputation beyond its local borders.

Longuenée-en-Anjou, a new commune in the bocage

Longuenée-en-Anjou (49220) is a new commune in Maine-et-Loire, created in 2016 from the merger of several communes in the northwestern Anjou bocage, including Le Mesnil-en-Vallée, La Chapelle-Saint-Florent, and others. The name Membrollais refers to one of the former local entities that make up this territory. This bocage commune, close to Candé and Ancenis, benefits from a green natural setting and a dynamic community association of which the Membrollais Car Boot Sale is one of the most popular expressions.
