Braderie du Cœur

The Braderie du Cœur, solidarity and bargains in Colomiers

Each spring, the Stade Michel Bendichou in Colomiers hosts the Braderie du Cœur, a major charity event that combines the pleasure of shopping with generosity. Organized by the association "1 Maillot Pour La Vie" in partnership with the Colomiers Rugby club, this street sale offers the chance to find great deals while supporting a vital cause: improving the daily lives of sick and hospitalized children.

Renowned partner brands

The unique feature of the Braderie du Cœur is that it offers new and second-hand items supplied by well-known partner brands. Sport 2000, Carrefour, Eden Park, Lola Espeleta, and Intermarché are among the regular donors to the event. Visitors can purchase clothing, sports equipment, accessories, and products from major brands at unbeatable prices.

The "1 Maillot Pour La Vie" association

Founded in 2000, the "1 Maillot Pour La Vie" association works to improve the daily lives of sick children by creating links between the world of professional sports and hospitals. Through partnerships with athletes and sports personalities, the association organizes meetings, visits, and events that bring joy and comfort to young patients and their families.

The Stade Michel Bendichou, the event's venue

The Stade Michel Bendichou is the historic home of the Colomiers Rugby club, located on allée de la Brière in Colomiers. This well-known sports venue in the Toulouse metropolitan area provides a spacious and easily accessible setting to host the street sale and its hundreds of visitors. The stadium's ICA Patrimoine space is transformed for the occasion into a true ephemeral and solidarity-based shopping center.

A weekend of generosity

The Braderie du Cœur takes place over two days, with extended hours from 9 am to 7 pm to allow as many people as possible to participate. The atmosphere is both festive and supportive, driven by the association's volunteers and the rugby club's supporters. Every purchase, no matter how small, directly contributes to funding the actions of "1 Maillot Pour La Vie" for hospitalized children.
