Car boot sale of the APE of Caussens

The APE of Caussens Car Boot Sale

Each year, the Parents' Association (APE) of Caussens organizes a car boot sale in the village's Grand-rue. This spring event brings together the school and village community for a friendly flea market day, with all profits going to fund school and extracurricular activities for the Caussens school.

A Solidarity Car Boot Sale for the School

The APE's car boot sale is more than just a second-hand market: it's an act of solidarity towards the village's children. The funds raised from stall rentals, the refreshment stand, and food sales finance school trips, shows, additional supplies, and extracurricular activities. Parents, teachers, and volunteers mobilize to organize a quality event that benefits the entire educational community.

Grand-rue of Caussens, from 8 am to 5 pm

The car boot sale takes place at 26 Grand-rue and along the village's main street, from 8 am to 5 pm. Private sellers offer clothes, toys, books, crockery, trinkets, small furniture, and various other items. The linear layout of Grand-rue facilitates visitor flow and offers good visibility to exhibitors.
