Car boot sale APE Les Marronniers de Bais

Car boot sale APE Les Marronniers – Bais (53160)

Every spring, the village of Bais (53160), a commune in eastern Mayenne, comes alive thanks to the car boot sale organized by APE Les Marronniers. This parents' association, whose name evokes the majestic chestnut trees that undoubtedly adorn the schoolyard or its surroundings, is a pillar of the village's educational and social life.

Bais is a lively village in the arrondissement of Mayenne, located in a green bocage on the borders of the Mayenne and Ernée regions. Its geographical position, between the towns of Mayenne and Évron, makes it a natural meeting point for residents of the surrounding villages, which benefits the attendance of the car boot sale.

The APE Les Marronniers works throughout the year to enrich the children's school life: purchasing equipment, organizing outings, financing shows and educational speakers. The spring car boot sale is its main source of income, which explains the strong mobilization of volunteer parents for its organization and smooth running.

The event welcomes private exhibitors from Bais and surrounding towns. On the tables, one discovers the usual treasures from Mayenne attics: tableware and table arts, adult and children's clothing, books, toys, tools, trinkets, and furniture of all kinds. Visitors appreciate the quality and variety of items offered at these rural fairs, often superior to that of urban car boot sales.

On-site catering, provided by volunteer parents, generally offers crepes, cakes, drinks, and light snacks, allowing visitors to spend a pleasant and complete day in Bais.
