Street Sale Camping-Caravaning and Car Boot Sale of Saulnières

An original street sale combining a car boot sale and camping-caravaning

Every first Sunday of September, Saulnières hosts a unique event: a street sale combining a traditional car boot sale and a camping-caravaning section. Up to 300 exhibitors set up in the village from 5:30 am. The car boot sale is free for individuals (8 m pitches without reservation), while the camping-caravaning section offers tents, caravans, motorhomes, and accessories for €15 per vehicle.

Vintage vehicles, palets competition, and entertainment

The event is complemented by an exhibition of vintage and prestige vehicles that attracts car and vintage mechanics enthusiasts. A palets competition — a quintessential traditional Breton game — is organized in parallel, adding a cultural touch to this festive day. Bumper cars entertain the younger ones, while refreshments and catering are available throughout the day.

Saulnières, a village of associative tradition

Organized jointly by the festival committee and the parents' association, this event demonstrates the associative vitality of Saulnières, a small village of about 900 inhabitants in the south of Ille-et-Vilaine. The camping-caravaning street sale has become a back-to-school tradition that attracts visitors from well beyond the canton, thanks to its original concept and friendly atmosphere.
