Grande Braderie de Toulouse

The back-to-school event in Toulouse

The Grande Braderie de Toulouse has become in a few years the most anticipated commercial event of the back-to-school season in the Pink City. Organized since 2012 every early September, it transforms the city center of Toulouse into a huge pedestrian zone dedicated to great deals for three days. More than 800 merchants and artisans participate in the event, offering exceptional discounts on their products.

Three days of shopping at slashed prices

The street sale mobilizes shops from all the shopping streets in the city center:

• Fashion and textiles: discounted clothing, shoes, accessories, leather goods;
• Decoration and home: decorative items, home textiles, lighting, small furniture;
• Beauty and well-being: cosmetics, perfumes, care products;
• Gastronomy and fine food: local products, sweets, chocolates;
• Culture and leisure: bookstores, record stores, game shops;
• Local crafts: Toulouse designers, handmade jewelry, ceramics.

Discounts commonly reach 30 to 70% on previous collections, making the Grande Braderie a unique opportunity to refresh your wardrobe or decorate your home at a lower cost.

Musical entertainment and gourmet village

The Grande Braderie is not limited to shopping. A program of musical entertainment punctuates the three days, with brass bands, jazz groups, and musical ensembles parading through the pedestrian streets. A gourmet village is set up with food trucks and restaurateurs offering local and international specialties, allowing you to eat pleasurably between purchases.

An event supported by the whole city

The Grande Braderie is co-organized by the City of Toulouse, Toulouse Métropole, the Chamber of Commerce and Industry, and the Chamber of Trades and Crafts of Haute-Garonne. This institutional mobilization demonstrates the importance of the event for the commercial dynamism of the city center. With over 100,000 visitors over three days, the Grande Braderie is also a moment of conviviality and urban life, favored by the people of Toulouse and visitors from the region.
