Geneston and the tradition of Saint-Brice

Geneston is a commune in the Vignoble nantais, south of Nantes, in the region of hills and vineyards that produces the famous Muscadet. Saint-Brice, the patron saint's festival celebrated on November 13th, is an opportunity for the residents of Geneston to perpetuate an ancient festive tradition. The September vide-grenier is one of its modern manifestations, combining respect for traditions with contemporary conviviality. It brings together the commune's associations and their volunteers around a common project.

Ninety exhibitors in an autumnal atmosphere

The vide-grenier taking place in September coincides with the first cool days of autumn and the return of activities after the summer holidays. The 90 exhibitors offer items suitable for this period: discounted summer clothes, warm clothes for the new season, toys no longer used by children, back-to-school books, sports equipment. Visitors always find a wide selection of useful items to prepare for the coming months.

A vide-grenier rooted in local festive tradition

Beyond its economic dimension as a second-hand goods market, the vide-grenier de la Saint-Brice is above all a festive event that celebrates belonging to the community of Geneston. Residents meet there, chat, share a drink, and enjoy the conviviality typical of rural patron saint festivals in the Vignoble nantais.
