The ADEB2S association, a pillar of local life

This association, headquartered at 15 rue Guy de la Vasselais, animates the daily lives of residents and regularly organizes unifying events. The car boot sale is one of its most popular annual events, which helps raise funds to finance the association's activities while offering residents and visitors a friendly event.

A car boot sale open from early morning

The car boot sale of Saint-Symphorien-le-Château starts early: exhibitors can take possession of their pitches from 6:30 am, allowing the earliest treasure hunters to take advantage of the best finds before the midday rush. The diversity of exhibitors - individuals from the village and neighboring communes, professional dealers - guarantees a varied choice of items: furniture, tableware, clothing, books, toys, tools, and trinkets. The event attracts a loyal public, coming from Beauce chartraine and the nearby Chartres agglomeration.

Preferential rates for residents

The organization of the car boot sale provides for differentiated pricing: residents of the commune benefit from a preferential rate of 2.50 euros per linear meter, compared to 4 euros for external exhibitors and 4.50 euros for professionals. This distinction values the participation of locals and encourages residents to clear out their attics. On-site catering - fries, sausages, sandwiches, crepes, and cotton candy - completes the setup.
