Saint-Sauveur Toy Fair

Saint-Sauveur, a Nièvre valley village

Saint-Sauveur is a rural Somme town located in the Nièvre valley, near Flixecourt, northwest of Amiens. This small village with traditional brick and flint houses is part of the gentle landscape of the Nièvre valley.

A fair designed for families

The Saint-Sauveur Toy Fair is part of the now well-established tradition of Picard association fairs organized in autumn, just before the end-of-year celebrations. The principle is simple: offer families a practical place to sell toys and childcare equipment their children no longer use, and to acquire others at modest prices.

The typical offer of a toy fair

The Saint-Sauveur fair presents a diversified offer covering all ages and budgets. For toddlers: rattles, activity mats, stuffed animals, walkers. For kindergarten and elementary school children: figurines, Hot Wheels cars, Lego, Playmobil, dolls. Preteens find retro video games, old consoles, complex board games. The essential childcare section offers strollers, car seats, bouncers.

Consignment or direct sale

Depending on the year and the organization, the fair may operate either as a consignment sale or as a direct sale by individuals behind their stands. These two formats often coexist in village fairs.

A solidarity and ecological event

Beyond the practical aspect, the Saint-Sauveur Toy Fair carries values of solidarity and responsible consumption. The profits made are generally donated to the village school, the fête committee or another local association.
