The Car Boot Sale of the Sou des Écoles

Each spring, the Sou des Écoles of Saint-Just-Chaleyssin organizes its traditional car boot sale in the village center. This popular event brings together residents from the village and neighboring towns around stalls of individuals offering all sorts of second-hand items. Clothes for the whole family, toys in good condition, books and comics, dishes and tableware, small furniture, garden tools, trinkets, and decorative objects await bargain hunters from the morning.

A residential village between Lyon and Vienne

Saint-Just-Chaleyssin is a dynamic town of over 3,000 inhabitants located between Lyon and Vienne, in Nord-Isère. The village has experienced strong residential development in recent decades, attracting young families thanks to its proximity to the employment hubs of Lyon and Vienne. Despite this growth, Saint-Just-Chaleyssin has retained its village spirit thanks to its active associations and community events. The Sou des Écoles is one of the most dynamic associations, working daily to enrich the school life of the town's children.

Supporting local school life

The funds raised during this car boot sale help finance a wide range of projects for children: educational school trips, nature and snow classes, shows and artist workshops at school, Christmas snacks, carnival, and end-of-year fair. It is a friendly event that brings together the school community and families around a common goal: the well-being and development of children. The refreshment stand run by volunteer parents contributes to the warm atmosphere and the association's revenue.
