Althen-des-Paluds Kids' & Baby Sale

A spring baby sale

On Saturday 25 April 2026, the village of Althen-des-Paluds holds its annual vide-poussette, dedicated to childhood and childcare. Rule: only items for kids and babies — 0-14 clothes, childcare gear, toys, books, bedroom furniture, baby kit (strollers, carriers, highchairs), school supplies. Themed events save parents' time: everything you see is relevant.

Vide-poussettes have boomed in France, driven by early-childhood cost pressures and eco awareness (baby clothes worn weeks only). The 2026 Althen-des-Paluds edition fits this trend — a practical, community event for Vaucluse families.

What to find

• Baby and kids' clothes (0-14)
• Shoes and kids fashion accessories
• Toys (learning, building, board, outdoor)
• Books, picture books, kids comics
• Childcare gear (strollers, carriers, car seats)
• Baby equipment (bottles, highchairs, playpens)
• Kids furniture (cribs, desks, storage)
• School and craft items

Althen-des-Paluds, quiet Comtat village

A small town of about 2,700 between Avignon, Carpentras and Isle-sur-la-Sorgue. Name refers to former marshlands. Known for market gardening and its covered market. Strong village identity despite suburban location, thanks to active community life.

Family and social

Typical associative event weaving social bonds in small communes: families sell outgrown items so others can equip their kids cheaply. Deeply Provençal solidarity and responsible consumption.

Visitor tips

Come at opening for best picks, especially big childcare items (strollers, car seats) that sell out fast. Cash in small denominations. Exhibitor registration via the organising association, modest pitch fee.

10 min from Pernes-les-Fontaines (36 fountains), 15 min from Avignon and Carpentras, 20 min from Isle-sur-la-Sorgue (pro brocantes). Great base for a Comtat Venaissin family day.
