The Foire à tout de La Chaussée-d'Ivry

A 'Foire à tout' organized by the Amicale

The Amicale de La Chaussée-d'Ivry is the association organizing this event. Like many small rural associations, the Amicale plays an essential role in animating the village and maintaining social connection among residents. The 'foire à tout' is one of its flagship events, mobilizing volunteers and participants for several weeks before the event. The rental of pitches at €3.50 per linear meter allows the association to finance its activities while offering accessible prices to individuals wishing to exhibit.

A spring event in the Drouais region

The 'foire à tout' taking place in March makes it an anticipated spring event in the Drouais region. After the winter months, residents take advantage of the first milder days to go out and visit this second-hand market. The stalls offer the usual items found at 'foires à tout': furniture, dishes, books, clothing, toys, tools, trinkets, and decorative objects. With about fifty exhibitors, the fair offers a sufficiently varied selection to satisfy bargain hunters while maintaining a human and village scale.
