Mistral School Car Boot Sale in Saint-Gilles

The Mistral School Car Boot Sale in Saint-Gilles

Every year in spring, the Frédéric Mistral nursery school in Saint-Gilles (30800) takes over Avenue Émile Cazelles for its traditional car boot sale. This event, organized by the school's cooperative, brings together exhibitors and visitors in a relaxed, family-friendly atmosphere, in the heart of this historic Gard town.

A Car Boot Sale for the Benefit of Children

The proceeds from the event are entirely reinvested in the Frédéric Mistral nursery school's cooperative. These funds help finance school trips, educational materials, and various cultural or sports activities for the students. Each pitch rented by a private exhibitor directly contributes to the development of the school's children.

A Simple and Accessible Formula

Private exhibitors can book a 4-meter pitch for 10 euros. A complimentary drink is included in the pitch price, reflecting the warm welcome extended to participants. Exhibitors can set up from 7 am, with their vehicles parked on the adjacent street, before the opening to the public at 8 am. The market closes at 2 pm.
