Car Boot Sales of La Flotte Rugby

The Rugby Car Boot Sales: The club spirit at the service of treasure hunting

SCR Rugby Île de Ré, an emblematic rugby club on the island, organizes its car boot sale every summer at Espace Bel Air in La Flotte. This vast sports complex, located at 103 route de La Noue, offers an ideal space to host the approximately 150 exhibitors who set up shop from the morning. From 9 a.m. to 7 p.m., treasure hunters browse the aisles between the stalls, while club volunteers provide refreshments and catering.

Espace Bel Air, the sporting heart of La Flotte

Espace Bel Air is the main sports facility in La Flotte, hosting the SCR rugby field as well as other facilities. Located a short distance from the village center, this site has a large car park and green spaces that facilitate the organization of the car boot sale. Exhibitors set up on the adjacent fields and car parks, creating a pleasant and well-organized treasure hunting route.

La Flotte, jewel of the Île de Ré

Classified among the Most Beautiful Villages in France, La Flotte charms with its medieval port, its flowery alleys, and its renowned market. This charming village, bathed by the waters of the Pertuis Breton, attracts thousands of visitors every summer. The rugby car boot sale is part of the dynamic associative life of La Flotte, where sports clubs actively contribute to the animation of the town.

A solidarity event

The profits from the car boot sale are entirely donated to SCR Rugby Île de Ré to fund equipment, travel, and training for young players. Club volunteers, recognizable by their jerseys, ensure the welcome of exhibitors, the management of pitches, and the refreshment and catering service throughout the day.
