La Queue-les-Yvelines Spring-Summer Clothing Fair

A clothing exchange deeply rooted in local life

For many years, the La Bonnette Leisure Foyer has organised two major annual clothing fairs in La Queue-les-Yvelines: one in spring for the spring-summer season, another in autumn for autumn-winter. This biannual format meets a real need: allowing families to find affordable clothing for each season, in a reasoned consumption approach.

A two-day event

The fair runs over a full weekend, allowing residents to find their slot between Saturday and Sunday. Clothes deposited beforehand by residents are sorted, classified and displayed by volunteers according to type, size and season.

Salle de la Bonnette, the village gathering place

Salle de la Bonnette is one of La Queue-les-Yvelines' main community venues, hosting year-round cultural, festive and charitable events.

Both ecological and charitable

Clothing exchanges like this meet several contemporary issues: giving second life to clothes in good condition, reducing textile waste, and offering an economic alternative for modest families.
