Red Cross Car Boot Sale of Florac-Trois-Rivières

The Red Cross solidarity car boot sale in Florac

The French Red Cross of Florac-Trois-Rivières organizes its annual car boot sale every August on the Place d'Arbuciès, one of the central squares of this Cévennes town. This solidarity and popular event helps finance the humanitarian and social actions of the local Red Cross.

Individuals, families, and associations offer clothes, toys, books, dishes, and various items on the sunny square. The profits are entirely donated to Red Cross actions: emergency aid, support for vulnerable people, first aid courses, and international solidarity actions.
