Saint-Vincent-Sterlanges 3S Amicale Laïque Flea Market

The 3S Amicale Laïque flea market

Saint-Vincent-Sterlanges is a rural commune of about 1,000 inhabitants in Vendée bocage, between La Roche-sur-Yon and Chantonnay. Its Amicale Laïque 'des 3S' (referring to the three S's of the village name) runs a regular flea market for the public school. This fits the long tradition of Vendée Amicales Laïques funding educational projects.

Past editions (2015, 2019) show event regularity. Through continuous parent involvement and municipal support, the 3S Amicale Laïque maintains this rendezvous.
