Gratiferia de Frouard

The Gratiferia de Frouard: the market where everything is free

The Gratiferia de Frouard is an original and supportive concept that is regularly held at the Espace de l'Ermitage. The principle is as simple as it is generous: everyone brings the objects they no longer use and freely leaves with those they like, without any financial compensation. A beautiful gesture for the environment and social connection.

Various items in good condition

Participants are invited to bring items in good working order: clothes, shoes, accessories and costume jewelry, games and toys, bicycles, CDs, DVDs, books and magazines, computer and hi-fi equipment, plants, cuttings and seeds, dishes, small appliances, decorative objects, and small furniture. The diversity of donations means that each Gratiferia holds its share of surprises and discoveries.

A supportive and ecological gesture

The Gratiferia is part of a waste reduction and circular economy approach. By giving objects a second life, it avoids waste while allowing everyone to find useful items for free. Items not collected at the end of the event are entrusted to a charitable association, ensuring that no donation is lost.
