Car boot sale of the Sou des Écoles de Royas

The Royas Car Boot Sale

Each spring, the small town of Royas hosts the annual car boot sale organized by the Sou des Écoles Saint-Jean. This human-sized village event is a moment of conviviality much appreciated by the residents and bargain hunters from the surrounding towns in the Rhône plain.

A Solidarity Car Boot Sale

Like all car boot sales organized by parent associations, the one in Royas has a solidarity purpose. The profits from the refreshment stand and exhibitor registrations are entirely donated to fund the children's school activities: educational outings, teaching materials, shows, and end-of-year trips. Exhibitors, mainly individuals, offer items they no longer need for sale.

Royas, a small village in the Rhône valley

Royas is a rural commune in the canton of Roussillon, located in the Rhône plain between Vienne and Valence. This peaceful village of a few hundred inhabitants maintains a dynamic associative life, of which the Sou des Écoles is one of the pillars. The annual car boot sale is one of the highlights of village life, an opportunity for residents to meet in a relaxed and family atmosphere.
