Farfouille annuelle de Cap Handicap

The annual Farfouille of Cap Handicap in Miribel

Every winter, the association Cap Handicap invites residents of Miribel and surrounding towns to its big annual Farfouille, an indoor car boot sale that has become an essential solidarity event over the years. The event takes place at L'Allégro, a function room located on Place de la République, in the heart of the town.

A solidarity and friendly concept

The peculiarity of this farfouille lies in its charitable purpose. The revenue generated from the rental of pitches is entirely donated to the association Cap Handicap, which works daily to improve the lives of people with disabilities in the Côtière de l'Ain region. Visitors will find a wide range of second-hand items: clothes, books, toys, crockery, small furniture, and various trinkets.

An adapted and warm setting

L'Allégro offers a covered and heated space, ideal for browsing away from the February chill. The thirty or so stands are organized in the main hall, allowing for easy movement between the stalls. Each exhibitor has a 3.60-meter pitch with a table provided, for a fee of 16 euros. Visitor entry is a symbolic 1 euro, donated to the association.

A day of treasure hunting in the heart of Miribel

Miribel, a dynamic town in the Côtière de l'Ain region near Lyon, offers a pleasant living environment between the Miribel canal and the Grand Parc natural park. L'Allégro, a multi-purpose hall located on Place de la République, is easily accessible by car or public transport. Free parking is available nearby, and the shops in the town center allow for an extended visit after the farfouille.

Practical information for exhibitors
