Rodez Childhood and Childcare Products Fair

The Rodez Childhood and Childcare Products Fair: solidarity and circular economy for Aveyron families

Each spring, the city of Rodez, prefecture of Aveyron, hosts its Childhood and Childcare Products Fair. Organized by the Secular Family Association (A.F.L.) of the Rodez sector, this event is part of a solidarity and eco-responsible approach: allowing families to give a second life to children's items that are no longer needed, while offering others the opportunity to equip themselves at a lower cost.

Rodez, a historic city perched in the heart of Aveyron

Prefecture of the Aveyron department, Rodez is an ancient city built on a rocky promontory overlooking the Aveyron valley. The city is famous for its Notre-Dame Cathedral, a masterpiece of southern Gothic art whose pink sandstone bell tower reaches 87 meters, and for the Soulages Museum, dedicated to the work of the Rodez-born painter Pierre Soulages, master of 'outrenoir'. With its medieval streets, Renaissance private mansions, and its Saturday morning market renowned throughout the Southwest, Rodez is a dynamic city that combines heritage and modernity. The Salle des Fêtes, located on the boulevard du 122e Régiment d'Infanterie, is an emblematic venue for the associative and cultural life of Rodez.

Clothing, childcare, and equipment for children

The Rodez Childhood and Childcare Products Fair offers a varied and accessible selection for all families:

• Children's clothing: from newborns to teenagers (0 to 16 years old), for all seasons
• Childcare equipment: strollers, prams, car seats, high chairs, bouncers, bathtubs

An event driven by secular associative commitment

The Secular Family Association of the Rodez sector works throughout the year for the families of Aveyron. The Childhood and Childcare Products Fair is one of its flagship actions: it promotes social connection between families in the region, encourages the reuse and recycling of children's items, and contributes to more responsible consumption. The sellers, all individuals, are members of the association, ensuring a friendly and trustworthy environment for transactions.
