Antique Toy Fair of Boulogne-Billancourt

The Antique Toy Fair of Boulogne-Billancourt — A Journey into the Childhood of Yesteryear

Founded by the BB TOYS association under the leadership of Agnès Blesle, the Antique Toy Fair of Boulogne-Billancourt has rapidly become an unmissable appointment for collectors and antique toy enthusiasts in the Paris region. Every December, the Espace Landowski — one of the finest multi-purpose venues in the city, at 28 avenue André Morizet — opens its doors to between 50 and 100 specialist exhibitors presenting their finest pieces.

Toys from Every Era and Every Country

The fair covers a remarkably wide temporal and geographical spectrum, from 19th-century handcrafted toys to 1980s plastic figurines, passing through the golden age of mechanical toys in the 1920s–1950s. Great French toy manufacturers — JEP, Citroën jouets, Dinky Toys France — sit alongside German, British, American and Japanese productions. Porcelain and celluloid dolls, electric and steam trains (Märklin, Hornby, JEP), die-cast vehicles (Dinky Toys, CIJ), lead soldiers, mechanical animals, painted wooden toys and vintage board games await discovery.

A Charity Fair for Alzheimer's Research

The fair donates a portion of its proceeds to the fight against Alzheimer's disease — the same commitment that runs through all of Agnès Blesle's events in Boulogne-Billancourt. The fair benefits from the support of the City and the OTBB (Boulogne-Billancourt Tourism Office).

Ideal for Christmas Shopping

Held in mid-December, the Antique Toy Fair is perfect for finding exceptional Christmas gifts: a rare toy, a childhood favourite rediscovered, or a beautiful collectible piece for a seasoned collector.
