Car boot sale of the Comité du Calvaire for the benefit of the SNSM — Plouescat

The May 8th car boot sale for the benefit of the SNSM in Plouescat

Every year on May 8th, the Victory in Europe Day holiday, the Comité du Calvaire de Plouescat organizes its car boot sale and flea market for the benefit of the SNSM (Société Nationale de Sauvetage en Mer - National Sea Rescue Society) at the central multipurpose hall in Plouescat (29430). This solidarity treasure hunt day brings together between 50 and 100 exhibitors — private and professional — offering clothes, toys, books, tools, various equipment, and everyday items at low prices.

The profits from the event are entirely donated to the SNSM, the volunteer association that ensures sea rescues on the French coast. The local SNSM station, located on the Côte des Légendes, is entirely funded by donations and association activities like this car boot sale. Participating in this event means concretely contributing to the safety of sailors and swimmers on the north Finistère coast.

A solidarity commitment for the sea

The SNSM (Société Nationale de Sauvetage en Mer) is a non-profit organization recognized as being of public utility, whose volunteer rescuers intervene 24/7 to assist people in distress at sea. Each year, the SNSM rescues thousands of people on the French coasts. On the Côte des Légendes, SNSM stations play a vital role in maritime safety.

The Comité du Calvaire de Plouescat is a neighborhood or local animation committee that organizes this event every year on May 8th for the benefit of sea rescuers. The central multipurpose hall in Plouescat hosts the event in good conditions, with the possibility of indoor and outdoor stands.
