Car boot sale of the Basket Club of Martigné-sur-Mayenne

Car Boot Sale of the Basket Club – Martigné-sur-Mayenne (53250) – September

Every September, the Basket Club de Martigné-sur-Mayenne organizes its traditional car boot sale in this town in northern Mayenne. This end-of-summer event has become a much-anticipated meeting for bargain hunters in the area, who find a great selection of second-hand items in a relaxed and friendly atmosphere.

Martigné-sur-Mayenne (53250) is a rural town located about twenty kilometers north of Laval, in the Mayenne valley. A peaceful commune with a vibrant community life, it counts among its local players a dynamic basketball club which, like many local sports associations, organizes festive events to finance its equipment and travel.

The car boot sale is one of these initiatives: by bringing together individuals and amateur sellers in the same space, the Basket Club creates a day of conviviality that benefits the entire commune. Exhibitors offer a wide range of items: clothing for adults and children, toys and board games, books and comics, tableware, small furniture, garden tools, trinkets, and decorative objects.

The month of September, with its still sunny days and the resumption of associative activities after the summer holidays, is ideal for this type of event. Residents of Martigné-sur-Mayenne and neighboring communes — Moulay, Saint-Baudelle, Saint-Loup-du-Dorat — gather around the stalls to hunt for bargains, chat, and support their local sports club.

The proceeds from stall fees and any catering offered go directly to financing the Basket Club, allowing for the purchase of equipment, payment of licenses, and organization of travel for regional competitions. A successful example of the rural associative economy in Mayenne.
