Car boot sale of the Sou des Écoles de Villeneuve-de-Marc

A car boot sale for schoolchildren

Every year in April, the Sou des Écoles communale of Villeneuve-de-Marc organizes its car boot sale at the village hall. This community event aims to fund school trips and educational projects for the children of the municipal school, giving this treasure hunt day a appreciated solidarity dimension for participants.

A friendly morning event

From 8 am to 2 pm, treasure hunters browse the stalls of exhibitors set up in and around the village hall. The atmosphere is that of a typical village car boot sale where people come as much for the bargains as for the pleasure of meeting neighbors. Private stalls offer the traditional assortment: toys, clothes, dishes, books, trinkets, and various objects.

On-site catering

The Sou des Écoles provides on-site catering, offering fries and hot dogs for hungry visitors. Families can also reserve portions of sausage crozets, a Dauphiné specialty to take away, at €7 for 250 grams. This catering offer also contributes to funding school activities.
