Car boot sales of Bernières-sur-Mer

The Festival Committee's Car Boot Sale: An Unmissable Summer Event

Every year in August, the Bernières-sur-Mer Festival Committee organizes a large car boot sale in the center of the village. This event, which has become an unmissable summer fixture on the Côte de Nacre, brings together private exhibitors and bargain hunters from all over Calvados and beyond. The village streets come alive for a day dedicated to treasure hunting and good deals.

Bernières-sur-Mer, Between History and Seaside

Bernières-sur-Mer is a coastal commune in Calvados, famous for its Juno Beach where Canadian troops landed on June 6, 1944. The village, located between Courseulles-sur-Mer and Saint-Aubin-sur-Mer, benefits from an exceptional setting between historical heritage and the seaside. Its 12th-century Romanesque church, one of the tallest in Normandy, dominates the landscape and gives the car boot sale a unique backdrop.

A Wide Selection of Items for All Tastes

Exhibitors offer a wide variety of items: clothing, toys, books, crockery, trinkets, small furniture, tools, decorative objects, and souvenirs of all kinds. Summer vacationers mingle with locals to rummage through the stalls in search of hidden treasures. Catering provided on-site by the Festival Committee volunteers makes it possible to extend the day pleasantly.

A Dynamic Festival Committee

The Bernières-sur-Mer Festival Committee is a very active association that enlivens the village life throughout the year. The August car boot sale is one of its flagship events, alongside other festive activities. The profits collected help to finance the activities and entertainment offered to the residents and vacationers of the commune.
