The NantesAct'Hu Car Boot Sale in Nantes

Every year in June, the NantesAct'Hu association takes over the Pirmil car park, rue Esnoult des Châtelets in Nantes, to organize its big car boot sale. This parking space, transformed for the occasion into an open-air market, welcomes exhibitors and visitors in a festive popular atmosphere typical of neighborhood events in the Nantes metropolitan area.

The Pirmil Car Park, a Space of Unsuspected Potential

The Pirmil car park, located on the left bank of the Loire at the exit of the Pirmil bridge, has an area that can accommodate a significant number of exhibitors. Its location on the edge of a residential area, accessible from the banks of the Loire and public transport, makes it an ideal site for this type of popular event. Rue Esnoult des Châtelets, which runs alongside it, adds a commercial street feel to the whole.

NantesAct'Hu: Commitment and Friendliness

NantesAct'Hu is a Nantes-based association involved in the city's life, combining humanitarian action and local entertainment. The organization of a car boot sale is part of its approach to creating social bonds and raising funds for its projects. The car boot sale format brings together a large audience around an activity accessible to all: hunting for bargains, selling, exchanging, and sharing a friendly moment.

A Wide Variety of Second-Hand Items

Individuals from the neighborhood and amateur exhibitors offer a considerable variety of items at this event: furniture, clothing, books, toys, electronic devices, tableware, tools, decorations, and collectibles. The prices reflect the bargain spirit that characterizes car boot sales, making the event attractive for families and experienced bargain hunters alike.

A Springtime Event by the Loire

The summer period of June, combined with the proximity of the Loire riverbanks, gives this car boot sale a particularly pleasant atmosphere. Visitors can combine their market visit with a stroll along the Nantes quays, enjoying the beauty of the river and the liveliness of the Pirmil – Les Salorges area.
