Car boot sale of the Amicale Gastinaise in Saint-Denis-de-Gastines

Car boot sale of the Amicale Gastinaise – Saint-Denis-de-Gastines (53500) – June

Every June, the Amicale Gastinaise organizes the car boot sale in Saint-Denis-de-Gastines (53500), a small village in northern Mayenne. This event marks the beginning of the summer season with a day of treasure hunting and conviviality that the locals eagerly await.

Saint-Denis-de-Gastines is a rural commune in northern Mayenne, not far from Ernée. In these hedged farmlands of Bas-Maine, local associations are the pillars of social life: they animate the village throughout the year and maintain the link between the inhabitants, whether they are native or newly arrived.

The Amicale Gastinaise is one of these associations that bring the village to life. Its very name—the adjective "gastinaise" derived from Gastines, the old name of the region—testifies to its local roots and its attachment to the identity of the territory. The car boot sale it organizes each summer is one of its flagship activities to liven up the commune.

The exhibitors, mainly individuals from the village and neighboring communes, offer a varied selection of second-hand items: clothing for the whole family, toys and children's games, books and novels, tableware, tools and garden equipment, furniture, and decoration. Each table is an invitation to discover, and there are no shortage of bargains at these rural car boot sales where prices remain very affordable.

The month of June, with its long days and pleasant temperatures, is ideal for this type of outdoor event. The Amicale Gastinaise ensures the organization of a successful day, with a suitable location, clear signage, and on-site catering allowing everyone to fully enjoy the event.
