Sainte-Croix Baby and Toy Sale

The Sainte-Croix Baby and Toy Sale, a family event in Aveyron

Every spring, the Sainte-Croix village hall opens its doors for the Baby and Toy Sale, an event organized by the APE of the Célestin Rossignol school. This event brings together families from western Aveyron around a simple and appreciated concept: allowing parents to sell and buy second-hand toys, children's clothing, and baby equipment at low prices, in a warm and family-friendly atmosphere.

Items for toddlers up to 6 years old

The sale is exclusively for items intended for children from birth to 6 years old. Exhibitors offer a wide variety of products:

• Toys: educational toys, plush toys, figurines, puzzles, construction sets, children's books
• Clothing: outfits for babies and young children, coats, shoes, accessories
• Baby equipment: strollers, car seats, bouncers, travel cots, high chairs, playpens

All items are second-hand and in good condition, offered at prices much lower than new. It's the ideal opportunity to update your children's equipment while adopting a responsible consumption and reuse approach.

Sainte-Croix, a fortified medieval village in western Aveyron

Sainte-Croix is a commune of 745 inhabitants (the Saint-Crussois) located in the west of Aveyron, within the Ouest Aveyron Communauté intercommunal area. The communal territory, which covers 2,588 hectares at an average altitude of 372 meters, includes three distinct villages: Sainte-Croix, Marin, and Cénac, each with its own historical character.

The village of Sainte-Croix is an old fortified village surrounded by moats, dominated by an imposing 15th-century church whose large square tower with machicolations reaches 30 meters in height. Classified as a historic monument since 1931, this tower is one of the most remarkable heritage elements of the commune. Three marked hiking trails (from 4.5 to 14 km), including the Circuit des 3 clochers, allow visitors to discover the rolling landscapes and heritage of the three villages.

A solidarity event for the school

The proceeds from the sale contribute to the funding of educational projects and school trips for the pupils of the Célestin Rossignol school, a public establishment welcoming children from 2 years old to the final year of primary school. By participating in this sale, families directly support the school life of their commune. The APE volunteers ensure the organization of the event and run a refreshment stand offering drinks and homemade cakes.
