Pannes 454 Twinning Car Boot Sale

The Pannes 454 Twinning Car Boot Sale: a spring tradition in Pannes

Every first Sunday of April, the Pannes twinning committee, known as "Pannes 454", invites bargain hunters and onlookers to its grand annual car boot sale. The event takes place in the parking lot of the shops in front of the multi-purpose hall, rue Marcel Donette, in the heart of this rural commune in the Loiret, at the gates of Montargois.

A tradition linked to twinning

The Pannes 454 association proudly represents the twinning of Pannes with its partner towns. The organization of this annual car boot sale helps to finance the exchanges and trips that keep this bond of friendship between communities alive. Through this popular event, the association also raises residents' awareness of openness to Europe and the world.

Individuals and professionals united

The car boot sale welcomes both individual and professional exhibitors. Individuals can come without prior reservation, paying for their spot directly on site at €2.50 per linear meter. Professionals, on the other hand, must make a prior reservation and pay a fee of €5 per meter. This dual system combines spontaneity and quality of offerings.

Atmosphere and services

The event includes food and drinks provided on site by the committee members. Entry is free for visitors. The multi-purpose hall of Pannes, in the background, gives the event a strong local anchor. The friendly atmosphere and affordable prices make this car boot sale a popular event for families in the Montargois area.
