Swap meet of the Paotred Dispount of Ergué-Gabéric

The Paotred Dispount swap meet, a big May 1st festival in Ergué-Gabéric

Every May 1st, the football club Paotred Dispount of Ergué-Gabéric (29500) organizes its traditional swap meet in Lestonan, rue de la Papeterie. This popular event, rooted in the life of this suburb of Quimper, is one of the unmissable gatherings for Labor Day in Cornouaille. Individuals and professionals offer clothes, toys, books, dishes, and objects of all kinds, while entertainment for children and on-site catering make it a true family festival.

The Paotred Dispount, a century-old club

The Paotred Dispount — literally "the boys of Dispount" in Breton — is one of the oldest sports clubs in Ergué-Gabéric, with over a hundred years of history. This popular football club, deeply rooted in local identity, has been organizing this May 1st swap meet for many years. The event has become an essential tradition for the residents of the town and contributes to the financing of the club's activities for the following season.

Bar, catering, crepes, and entertainment

The Paotred Dispount swap meet is not just a simple second-hand market. The presence of a bar, fast food, a crepe stand, and inflatable structures for children makes it a true neighborhood festival. Families spend the day there, taking advantage of bargains on the stalls while enjoying a crepe or a meal. This festive atmosphere is one of the characteristics that have made the event successful for decades.
