Garage Sale of the DYStinguons-nous Association (Saint-Germain-au-Mont-d'Or)

DYStinguons-nous Garage Sale: bargain-hunting for a good cause

The DYStinguons-nous Association Garage Sale is much more than a simple second-hand market: it is a solidarity event where every purchase helps to support people with dyslexia. The DYStinguons-nous association campaigns for the recognition and support of dyslexia, a learning difficulty affecting many children and adults. Through this annual garage sale, it raises funds to finance its awareness-raising activities, workshops and support programmes. Private sellers and families offer clothing, toys, books, trinkets and everyday objects in a convivial and welcoming atmosphere — the perfect opportunity to combine the pleasure of bargain-hunting with meaningful civic engagement.

Nestled on the green slopes of the Monts d'Or, the village offers a preserved and pleasant living environment just a few kilometres from Lyon city centre. The commune is part of the Lyon peri-urban belt, but retains a distinctly rural and village character, with its stone houses, church, hiking paths and landscapes of vineyards and forests.
