Car boot sale of APE Jacques Prévert

The Car Boot Sale of APE Jacques Prévert in Chartres

Every last Sunday of May, the Association of Parents of Students (APE) of the Jacques Prévert school in Chartres organizes its annual car boot sale. This family and solidarity event brings together private sellers and visitors for a day of late spring treasure hunting, with profits going to the school projects and educational outings of the students.

An associative tradition serving the school

Organizing a car boot sale by the APE is a well-established tradition in many French schools. At the Jacques Prévert school in Chartres, this annual event allows the parents' association to finance cultural activities, educational outings, and classroom projects that improve the children's daily lives. Each seller who reserves a table contributes directly to enriching the school life of the establishment.

The last Sunday of May, closing of spring

The last Sunday of May is a particularly favorable time for an outdoor car boot sale. The good weather has set in, the summer holidays are on the horizon, and many families are enjoying these last spring Sundays before the summer rush. The car boot sale of APE Jacques Prévert fits perfectly into this calendar, offering a festive and useful occasion for all participants.

Clothes, toys, and various items

Like any community car boot sale in Chartres, the one organized by APE Jacques Prévert offers a varied selection from the attics of families from the school and the neighborhood: clothes for children and adults, toys and board games, children's books and novels, decorative items, small furniture, and various curiosities. The friendly atmosphere of these events, where everyone knows their neighbors, makes it a cherished moment of sharing far beyond the school circle.

An event open to all

Even though the Car Boot Sale of APE Jacques Prévert is primarily organized for the benefit of the school's community, it is of course open to all sellers and visitors from Chartres and the surrounding areas. Entry is free for visitors, and sellers can reserve their spot with the APE. A family-friendly and generous event, reflecting the values embodied by the name of the poet Jacques Prévert, a champion of childhood and freedom.
