Car boot sale APE Les Mimosas Salles

The Les Mimosas school car boot sale: a neighborhood event

The APE of the Les Mimosas school in Salles brings parents together around a common project: to finance the school's educational projects through friendly events. The annual car boot sale, organized in the schoolyard, is one of these highlights. Families offer everything their children no longer need: toys, books, clothes, childcare equipment, board games, costumes, and sports equipment.

The schoolyard, a place for sharing

Organizing a car boot sale in the schoolyard has a special meaning: it is here that children play, learn, and grow every day. On the day of the car boot sale, this familiar place transforms into a joyful and colorful treasure hunting space. Parents set up blankets and trestles, children actively participate in selling their old toys, and visitors – often other parents – come to equip their children at low prices. The atmosphere is warm, with cake and coffee being a must.

Salles, a family-friendly town in the Val de l'Eyre

Salles is a developing town that attracts many families seduced by its forest setting and its proximity to the Bassin d'Arcachon. The town's schools benefit from a dynamic parent association network. The APE Les Mimosas car boot sale is a prime example: a modest event in size but rich in conviviality and usefulness. The profits help finance school trips, educational materials, and cultural activities for the students.
