Car boot sale of the APE of Congénies

The APE Car Boot Sale in Congénies

Each spring, the Parents' Association (APE) of Congénies organizes its annual car boot sale. This community event, rooted in the local life of the village, is an opportunity to clear out your closets while contributing to the financing of extracurricular and educational activities for the school.

The APE car boot sale brings together private sellers from the village and neighboring towns, offering children's and adults' clothing, toys, books, trinkets, and everyday items. The atmosphere is friendly and familial, typical of events organized by parents' associations.

Congénies, an authentic village in the Gard

Congénies is a commune of about 1,000 inhabitants in the Gard department, located in the canton of Sommières, between Nîmes and Lunel. This village in the Languedoc garrigue is known for its historic Quaker identity—it houses one of the oldest Quaker meetings in France, founded in the 18th century—and for its landscapes of vines and olive trees.

The village has an authentic and preserved character. Its public school, the true heart of community life, is the driving force behind the association that organizes this event. The village solidarity that characterizes Congénies is fully reflected in the enthusiastic participation of the inhabitants in this car boot sale.

An event for the school

The funds collected during the APE car boot sale are used to finance educational projects, school trips, and equipment for the students of the Congénies school. Participating in this event therefore directly contributes to the development of the village's children.

As a seller, you can clear out your attics while participating in a great community action. As a visitor, you can find great deals in a warm and relaxed atmosphere, in the heart of an authentic village in the Gard.
