APESOR Car boot sale — Les Sorinières

The APESOR Car Boot Sale in Les Sorinières

Every autumn, the Parc Hippolyte Derouet in Les Sorinières transforms into a vast second-hand market for the car boot sale organized by APESOR. This friendly event is one of the unmissable gatherings in the town for anyone wishing to sell or buy second-hand items: clothing, books, toys, crockery, trinkets, and a thousand other everyday treasures change hands on this occasion.

An Accessible Price for Exhibitors

The pricing set by APESOR, at €4 per linear meter, is part of an accessibility initiative that encourages the participation of as many people as possible. Families from Les Sorinières and surrounding towns can thus rent a pitch at a low cost to sell off the surplus accumulated in their attics and cellars. This per-linear-meter formula allows each exhibitor to adjust the rented space to their actual needs.

Parc Hippolyte Derouet, the Ideal Setting

The Parc Hippolyte Derouet offers a green and spacious setting particularly suitable for this type of event. Its layout can accommodate numerous exhibitors while ensuring pleasant circulation for visitors between the stalls. The location of Les Sorinières, in immediate proximity to Nantes and well-served by public transport, facilitates the arrival of a large audience from all over the southern Nantes metropolitan area.

An Initiative for the Community

By organizing this annual car boot sale, APESOR contributes to social cohesion and the circular economy at a local level. This event is an opportunity for the residents of Les Sorinières to meet in a festive and relaxed atmosphere, to chat, bargain, and find good deals. The revenue from pitch rentals helps finance the association's activities, benefiting the town's residents. October, with its still mild days and weekends conducive to family outings, is the ideal period for this major autumn second-hand event.
