The APEL Saint-François Flea Market: Bargain Hunting for the School

Each autumn, Place de la Victoire in Gien hosts the car boot sale organized by the APEL (Association of Parents of Free Education) Saint-François. This annual event, eagerly awaited by Gien families and Loiret bargain hunting enthusiasts, helps fund educational projects and activities for the students of Saint-François school.

Place de la Victoire: Gien's Autumn Rendezvous

Place de la Victoire, in the heart of Gien, is perfectly suited for organizing such an event. Spacious and easily accessible, it hosts stands from private and professional exhibitors in a pleasant setting, just a stone's throw from the Château de Gien and the Loire River. The autumn weather, often mild in the Loire Valley, invites leisurely browsing among the stalls.

A Car Boot Sale for the Benefit of Families and the School

APEL Saint-François brings together parents around a common project: to support the private school Saint-François in Gien and enrich the daily school life. The proceeds from the flea market help fund educational outings, teaching materials, or special projects. Volunteers are involved throughout the year to ensure this event is a success.

What to Find at the APEL Saint-François Flea Market?

The flea market offers a wide variety of items: clothing and accessories for adults and children, furniture, tableware, books, toys, tools, decorative objects, and many other finds. Exhibitors, mainly individuals, offer their items at attractive prices, making bargain hunting accessible to all budgets.

Food and Camaraderie

Refreshments and food are provided on-site by APEL volunteers. This delicious break is an opportunity to gather with parents, teachers, and neighbors in the warm atmosphere that characterizes Catholic education events.
