Car boot sale of Chemin de la Bouillotte in Plélan-le-Grand

Treasure hunting by the Bouillotte

Every June, the Chemin de la Bouillotte in Plélan-le-Grand hosts a popular outdoor car boot sale for treasure hunters in Brocéliande. Private sellers offer a wide range of second-hand items: clothes, toys, books, trinkets, crockery, tools, small furniture, and bric-a-brac. The atmosphere is that of a relaxed and friendly neighbourhood car boot sale, where people take their time to chat and negotiate with each other.
