Vide-Grenier and Toy Sale of Maylis

The Maylis car boot sale and toy sale

Maylis, a small village in the Landes with 320 inhabitants nestled in the heart of Chalosse, is best known for its sanctuary of Notre-Dame de Maylis and its Benedictine abbey. But every spring, the village also hosts a car boot sale combined with a toy sale that attracts families from surrounding towns.

A popular family concept

The toy sale is the meeting point for families who want to give a second life to their children's toys. Board games, dolls, figurines, construction toys, puzzles, children's books, and childcare equipment are offered at very affordable prices. It's the ideal opportunity for parents to refresh the toy box without breaking the bank, while adopting an eco-responsible approach.

A car boot sale in a pilgrimage village

Maylis owes its fame to the sanctuary of Notre-Dame de Maylis, a place of pilgrimage since the 12th century, and to its abbey founded in 1946 by Olivetan Benedictine monks. The village, surrounded by green hills and oak forests, offers a peaceful and bucolic setting for this day of treasure hunting. Visitors can take the opportunity to visit the abbey and the sanctuary after browsing the stalls of the car boot sale.

Atmosphere and catering

The event takes place in a relaxed and family-friendly atmosphere. Organizers provide a refreshment stand and fast food on site. Exhibitors are welcomed in the morning, allowing them to set up before the public opening.
