A non-sedentary trader, Laurence Levalet has been visiting markets and fairs for more than fifteen years to sell her tablecloths and oilcloths. Since September 2024, this resident of Saint-Hilaire-du-Maine (in Mayenne), has been traveling to the Craon market (Sud-Mayenne), and will henceforth be present on the first 2 Mondays of each month, at surroundings or on the Place du Maréchal Leclerc.
It was in 2009, when I was wondering about my professional future, that my father came to tell me: why don't you create your business to sell on the markets?
confides Laurence Levalet. His parents were themselves non-sedentary traders.
She decides to set up as a self-employed person. She still had to find what products she would be able to sell. As luck would have it, his father called him one day and said: There is a gentleman, in the markets, who sells tablecloths and who stops his activity
. Sell tablecloths, why not? With my father, we went to see the suppliers in Paris, and that's how my adventure on markets and fairs began
underlines the trader, who made her 1is market in Mayenne, in 2009.
Tablecloths up to 1.80 m wide
On its stalls, Laurence Levalet offers tablecloths of all colors, all sizes (up to 1.80 m wide), all stain resistant. She also responds to the request: I cut, I place bias binding around the tablecloths, I also offer custom elasticated bulgommes
specifies the trader.
A market every day
Every day of the week, Laurence Levalet is on a different market, not counting the numerous fairs I believe that if there is a fair in a town or village, traders must be present, it is a tradition.
