Bric-à-brac école Emile Zola

The bric-à-brac at Émile Zola school, the neighborhood's annual event

Every spring, the courtyard of the Émile Zola primary school in Mainvilliers transforms into a second-hand market during the traditional bric-à-brac organized by the school's parent-teacher association. This annual event, held every May, brings together neighborhood residents, families, and curious onlookers for a great selection of second-hand items.

A solidarity sale in the heart of the neighborhood

The bric-à-brac at Émile Zola school is more than just a sale: it's a moment of conviviality that strengthens the bonds between the school's families and the neighborhood's residents. The profits generated during this event are used to fund educational activities and projects for the students: school trips, educational materials, cultural and artistic workshops.

All sorts of items

Individuals and families exhibit a wide variety of items: toys and games, clothing for children and adults, books and comics, decorative items, tableware, small appliances, hobby equipment. The event usually starts in the morning at 9 am and continues until late afternoon, giving visitors time to browse and find bargains.
