Laborde District Collective House Sale of Montesson

The Laborde District Collective House Sale: an original formula

The concept of the collective house sale, imported from the United States where it is very popular as 'garage sale' or 'yard sale', is increasingly appealing to residents of French suburban neighborhoods. In Montesson, in the Laborde District, residents have adopted this friendly format.

A friendly and participatory concept

Unlike a traditional flea market where all exhibitors gather at the same site, the collective house sale spreads the event throughout an entire neighborhood. Visitors move from house to house with a map provided by the organizers.

The Laborde District, residential neighborhood of Montesson

The Laborde District is one of the residential neighborhoods of Montesson, a town of over 15,000 inhabitants located in the Seine loop west of Paris.

A wide variety of items to discover

The advantage of the collective house sale is the diversity of items on offer: since each house sells the contents of its garage, cellar or attic, bargain hunters can find bulky furniture and small items alike.

An event to experience differently

Taking part in a collective house sale also means discovering a neighborhood from a new angle.
