Car boot sale APE of Montfort-sur-Meu

A family car boot sale at the gates of Brocéliande

The APE of Montfort-sur-Meu organizes its annual car boot sale in this dynamic town in western Ille-et-Vilaine. Private sellers offer clothes, toys, books, childcare equipment, small furniture, and various second-hand items. The event attracts families from Montfort and surrounding towns — Bédée, Iffendic, Breteil, Talensac — in a warm and family atmosphere.

Montfort-sur-Meu, medieval town and gateway to Brocéliande

Montfort-sur-Meu is a town of about 7,500 inhabitants, the capital of the canton, labeled Petite Cité de Caractère. Built on a rocky outcrop at the confluence of the Meu and Garun rivers, the town preserves remarkable medieval heritage: remains of the castle of the barons of Montfort, the Tour du Papegaut (14th century), half-timbered houses, and the Saint-Louis-Marie-Grignion-de-Montfort church. The town is the gateway to the forest of Brocéliande (Paimpont forest), a place steeped in Arthurian legends. The Ecomuseum of the Pays de Montfort retraces the history and traditions of this area.

An event to support schools

The proceeds from the car boot sale are donated to the APE to fund school trips, shows, and educational projects for the schools of Montfort-sur-Meu. A refreshment stand and crêpe stands complete the offering in the purest Breton tradition. Admission is free.
