Car boot sale of the Town Hall in Pré-en-Pail-Saint-Samson

Car boot sale of the Town Hall in Pré-en-Pail-Saint-Samson

The commune of Pré-en-Pail-Saint-Samson (53140) organizes each June, under the auspices of its Town Hall, a Car boot sale that brings together about 75 exhibitors. This human-sized event is distinguished by its exceptional natural setting: Pré-en-Pail is indeed the highest commune in Mayenne, in the heart of the Alpes Mancelles and at the gates of the Normandie-Maine Regional Natural Park.

Founded on the merger of Pré-en-Pail and Saint-Samson, the commune offers a hilly and wooded territory, crossed by the Jouanne and Merdereau rivers. Hikers and nature lovers who frequent this region in the summer can take advantage of the car boot sale to complete their outdoor day with a stroll in search of bargains.

With 75 exhibitors, the Pré-en-Pail-Saint-Samson car boot sale is a modest but authentic event, reflecting the spirit of the local community. The exhibitors, mostly individuals from the commune and neighboring villages, offer the hidden treasures from their attics and storage rooms: clothing and accessories, books and documents, dishes and kitchenware, toys and games, rustic objects, and country or mountain items.

The municipal organization of the car boot sale guarantees a safe and well-organized environment. The Town Hall ensures the welcome of exhibitors and visitors, the smooth running of the event, and the enhancement of this exceptional communal space. For visitors discovering Pré-en-Pail for the first time, the car boot sale is often the beginning of an exploration of this little-known and magnificent territory in northeastern Mayenne.
