Bourse aux Jouets et aux Vélos du Coudray

The Bourse aux Jouets et aux Vélos du Coudray: a family event in November

Every November, the Espace Gérard Philipe in Le Coudray (28630) hosts the Toy and Bike Sale, organized by APE Les Enfants d'Abord. This specialized sale, entirely dedicated to second-hand toys, childcare items, and bicycles, has become a must-attend event for families in this town in the Chartres agglomeration.

Le Coudray, a town in the Chartres agglomeration

Le Coudray (28630) is a town bordering Chartres, integrated into Chartres Métropole. Its geographical location south of the prefecture of Eure-et-Loir gives it good accessibility from the entire agglomeration. The Espace Gérard Philipe, a well-equipped multi-purpose hall, is a community and cultural center appreciated by residents.

A specialized sale for families

Unlike general car boot sales, the Bourse aux Jouets et aux Vélos du Coudray focuses on a targeted offer: all kinds of toys, board games, plush toys, childcare items (strollers, car seats, etc.), and bicycles for children and adults. This specialization allows families to quickly find what they are looking for and save money, especially in the run-up to the end-of-year holidays. It is also the ideal opportunity to give a second life to items that have become too small or are no longer used.

APE Les Enfants d'Abord

The Parents' Association (APE) Les Enfants d'Abord is an active association in Le Coudray, committed to serving families and children attending school in the town. The annual organization of the toy and bike sale is one of its flagship events, helping to fund activities for children while enlivening local life. The team of volunteers ensures the logistical organization from start to finish: welcoming exhibitors, setup, managing registrations, and communication.

Registration and participation

Exhibitors wishing to participate must register by email at [email protected] before the deadline set each year by the APE. The event takes place from 9 am to 5 pm at the Espace Gérard Philipe. Entry is free for visitors. For families from Le Coudray and neighboring towns, it is a great opportunity to prepare Christmas gifts at a reduced price.
