Vide-greniers du Gué-de-Longroi

The Vide-greniers du Gué-de-Longroi

Every year in June, the village of Le Gué-de-Longroi (28700) hosts its big car boot sale at the Stade Georges Boulogne. Organized by the table tennis association of Le Gué-de-Longroi, this popular event has already had many editions — it was in its 24th edition in 2025 — which testifies to its integration into local life and the loyalty of its exhibitors and visitors.

The event brings together private sellers who come to clear out their attics and offer clothes, toys, books, crockery, and flea market items. Visitors from surrounding towns make the trip to hunt for treasures in this well-arranged space around the communal stadium. The organization is managed by the local sports association, which donates the profits to fund its activities.
