Children's Brocante — Verrières-le-Buisson

Verrières-le-Buisson, a residential commune in Essonne

Verrières-le-Buisson is an Essonne (91) commune of around 16,000 inhabitants, located some 15 kilometres south of Paris. Known for its green character, tree-lined streets and former horticultural estates, it is one of the most sought-after residential communes in the Essonne. The local initiatives syndicate (SIV2I) is particularly active, organising a range of cultural and festive events throughout the year.

The Children's Brocante, held annually in June in the schoolyard of École Paul Fort, is one of SIV2I's most popular events. Dedicated exclusively to children's items — toys, books, clothes, sports equipment and baby gear — it draws around 100 private sellers and attracts families from Verrières-le-Buisson and neighbouring communes. Free entry, safe enclosed venue, and a short morning slot (8am–12:30pm) make it an ideal family outing.
