Arc en Ciel School Flea Market

The Arc en Ciel school flea market

Arc en Ciel public school runs its annual flea market on Sunday 12 April 2026, via APEEP. Proceeds fund school educational projects: outings, materials, discovery classes. A popular spring rendezvous in this North-Vendée village.

Private vendors set up at or near the school. Usual school flea-market mix with a focus on children's items: clothes, toys, tableware, bibelots, books, baby gear, small furniture. Volunteer parents run welcome, bar and food in a warm, solidarity atmosphere.
