The diversity of exhibitors guarantees finds for all tastes and budgets, in a relaxed and warm atmosphere.
Car boot sales organized by volunteer firefighter corps have a long tradition in France.

In Montreuil-Bellay, this event is part of the rich associative life of a commune that knows how to celebrate its solidarities.
The organization is meticulous, with catering and refreshments provided by the firefighters themselves, making the car boot sale a truly friendly day where it's pleasant to linger between the aisles of exhibitors.
