Bourse des Lutins de Soultz-Haut-Rhin

The Bourse des Lutins: the childcare event of Soultz-Haut-Rhin

The Bourse des Lutins de Soultz-Haut-Rhin has become, over the years, an eagerly awaited event for families in the town and surrounding areas. Held every spring indoors, this sale specializing in children's items offers parents the opportunity to sell or buy at low prices everything children need—and no longer need as quickly as they grow.

Soultz-Haut-Rhin, a town of character in the Vosges foothills

Soultz-Haut-Rhin (68360) is a commune of about 7,000 inhabitants in the Haut-Rhin department, nestled in the foothills of the Vosges between Guebwiller and Mulhouse. A town of character with a rich medieval past, Soultz has a remarkable historic center with its half-timbered houses, Renaissance fountains, and the imposing Saint-Maurice church. Well served by road and rail, it is a dynamic living area that explains the popular success of the Bourse des Lutins.

Items for children from birth to adolescence

The Bourse des Lutins offers a wide range of second-hand items for children:

• Toys: construction games, plush toys, figurines, board games, wooden toys, puzzles
• Children's clothing: baby outfits, onesies, sleepsuits, seasonal outfits, coats, shoes from 0 to 16 years
• Childcare: strollers, prams, car seats, bouncers, swings, baby monitors, booster seats, changing tables
• Children's books: picture books, educational books, children's novels, comic books
• Bedroom furniture: cots, cribs, drawers, storage units
• Leisure equipment: bicycles, scooters, ride-on toys, children's skis, sports equipment

This diversity makes the sale a real treasure trove for families looking for bargains, but also a place for parents in the region to meet and exchange.

A family event accessible to all

The Bourse des Lutins takes place indoors, protected from the weather, in a welcoming and secure space. Admission is free for all visitors, making it a popular event open to all families, regardless of their situation. Sellers are generally individuals—parents, grandparents, childminders—who offer carefully selected items in good condition.

A gesture for the circular economy and the environment

The Bourse des Lutins is part of a virtuous approach to the circular economy: giving a second life to children's items not only reduces family expenses but also limits waste and contributes to more responsible consumption. As young children grow quickly, clothes and toys are often barely used—so why not let other families in the neighborhood or town benefit from them?
