Sou des Écoles Laïques Jumble Sale of Curis-au-Mont-d'Or

A jumble sale on the banks of the Saône in the Monts d'Or

The Sou des Écoles Laïques jumble sale of Curis-au-Mont-d'Or is a convivial and community-minded event rooted in the village's associative life. Organized each year by volunteer parents from the village school, it brings together sellers and browsers around a second-hand market offering children's and adult's clothing, toys, games, books, crockery, tools and decorative objects. In this peaceful village nestled among the vineyards and forests of the Monts d'Or, this summer event is an opportunity to enjoy a beautiful day outdoors while finding some good bargains. Funds raised help enrich school activities and educational outings for the school's children.
