Bourse des Familles de Staffelfelden

The solidarity sale for families in the potash basin

The Bourse des Familles de Staffelfelden is much more than a simple car boot sale: it is an event of solidarity and circular economy dedicated to families with children from the Haut-Rhin potash basin. Organized every spring indoors, this specialized sale allows parents to resell items in good condition that their children no longer use at very affordable prices, benefiting families looking for bargains to equip their little ones.

Staffelfelden, a commune in the potash basin

With its approximately 3,000 inhabitants, Staffelfelden (68850) is a characteristic commune of the Alsatian potash basin, marked by the heritage of potash mines that have shaped the social and cultural identity of the entire region. Like its neighbors Wittelsheim, Wittenheim, or Pulversheim, Staffelfelden has an active community life that animates the local area throughout the year. The Bourse des Familles is part of this tradition of mutual aid and community conviviality.

A selection dedicated to children and families

Unlike general car boot sales, the Bourse des Familles de Staffelfelden is entirely focused on the needs of families with children. The exhibitors, exclusively individuals, offer:

• Children's clothing: from newborns to teenagers, all seasons included — dresses, trousers, jumpers, coats, onesies, pyjamas, shoes, and accessories
• Toys and games: developmental toys, plush toys, construction sets, puzzles, board games, figurines, dolls, and outdoor toys
• Children's books: illustrated albums, fairy tales, children's non-fiction, school books, and children's literature
• Childcare items: strollers, car seats, bouncers, high chairs, swings, play mats, breast pumps, and baby accessories
• Various equipment: bicycles, scooters, ride-on toys, changing tables, and small children's furniture

An indoor event for the comfort of families

The indoor organization of this sale is a deliberate choice that guarantees families with young children optimal comfort, regardless of the weather conditions. The hall is heated in spring if necessary, allows easy movement with strollers and prams, and offers a safe environment for young children. Exhibitors also benefit from easier setup and better conditions for displaying their items.

Prices accessible to all budgets

The founding principle of the Bourse des Familles is economic accessibility. The items offered, in good condition and carefully selected by the exhibitors, are sold at prices much lower than new items, making it possible to fully equip a child at a lower cost. Admission is free for all visitors, further enhancing the accessibility of this event for all families, regardless of their budget.
