Oissery Toy and Childcare Fair

The Oissery Toy and Childcare Fair: A Community-Minded Family Event

Each spring, Oissery organises its toy and childcare fair, now an essential gathering for parents of the Meaux and Multien regions. In the village multi-purpose hall, exhibitors offer toys, stuffed animals, children's books, clothing, strollers, car seats, bouncers, cots, children's bedroom furniture and all early-childhood items. Attractive prices, well below new, delight families equipping their children at a lower cost while embracing a sustainable reuse approach.

An Economical and Ecological Approach

Buying or selling at a childcare fair meets a double challenge: economic, because children's items, quickly outgrown, represent a substantial budget for young parents; ecological, because extending the life of toys, clothing and equipment drastically reduces the environmental impact of family consumption. The Oissery fair fully embraces this responsible consumption movement, appealing to more and more families mindful of their ecological footprint and their budget.

An Open and Accessible Event

Admission is free for visitors, making it a particularly accessible Sunday outing. The Oissery multi-purpose hall, heated and sheltered, offers a comfortable setting whatever the March weather. Exhibitors, mainly private sellers and sometimes local associations, display items on tables. You'll meet mothers clearing the older children's rooms, grandparents hunting for a grandchild's gift, or childcare professionals renewing their equipment.

Oissery, a Meaux Region Village

Oissery is a rural commune in northern Seine-et-Marne, in the heart of the Meaux region, a few kilometres from Dammartin-en-Goële and Saint-Soupplets. The village, with about a thousand inhabitants, has preserved its agricultural character and the open landscapes typical of the Multien plateau. The Notre-Dame-de-l'Assomption church and old houses bear witness to a patiently maintained past, while the multi-purpose hall and modern facilities reflect the commune's current dynamism.

A Family Sunday on the Outskirts of Paris

For Île-de-France families, the Oissery fair offers the opportunity for a pleasant Sunday outing, both useful and refreshing. The village, easily accessible via the Francilienne ring road and the A1 motorway, allows combining children's equipment and discovering northern Seine-et-Marne: the nearby Oise-Pays de France regional natural park, castles and villages of the Meaux region, the Ermenonville forest, Parc Astérix and, of course, the episcopal city of Meaux with its cathedral and Great War Museum.
