APE de Hommes Flea Market

Flea Market for the Hommes School

The Parents' Association (APE) of Hommes organizes an annual flea market every spring in the village center. Exhibitors—individuals and dealers—offer furniture, trinkets, tableware, toys, books, clothing, and second-hand items. The event takes place in a friendly and family atmosphere, with refreshments and food provided by APE volunteers. Profits are entirely reinvested in funding school projects.
