Car boot sale Week-end en Fête in Gennes-sur-Glaize

Each April, the village of Gennes-sur-Glaize (53200) organizes its Week-end en Fête, of which the Car boot sale is one of the highlights. With 82 exhibitors, this spring event brings together the local community and visitors from the surrounding areas for a festive day in the countryside of southern Mayenne.

Gennes-sur-Glaize is a commune in the region of Château-Gontier-sur-Mayenne, in southern Mayenne. A rural village with typical hedged farmland landscapes, crossed by the meanders of the Glaize river and its tributaries, Gennes-sur-Glaize maintains a dynamic associative life which is manifested each year during this Week-end en Fête.

The "Week-end en Fête" formula is more comprehensive than a simple car boot sale: it can include sports activities, concerts, shared meals, children's games, exhibitions... The car boot sale with its 82 exhibitors forms the commercial core of the event, offering visitors the opportunity to shop among a selection of various second-hand items: clothing, books, toys, crockery, trinkets, and miscellaneous objects.

The holding of the car boot sale in April marks the opening of the outdoor events season in the Château-Gontier region. After the winter months, the people of Mayenne happily take advantage of the first fine days to go out, meet up, and enjoy a local festive event. The Week-end en Fête of Gennes-sur-Glaize perfectly meets this expectation of spring conviviality.
