Figeac, City of Art and History in the Heart of Quercy

Figeac is one of the most remarkable cities in the Lot and in all of Occitanie. Classified as a City of Art and History, it is recognized as one of the eighteen Grands Sites d'Occitanie. Founded in 838 around a Benedictine abbey, the city reached its peak in the 13th and 14th centuries, becoming one of the most prosperous cities in the South of France. Its historic center, with its medieval streets, its soleillhous (drying galleries under the roofs), and its red and beige sandstone townhouses, is an architectural delight. Figeac is the birthplace of Jean-François Champollion (1790-1832), the decipherer of Egyptian hieroglyphs, whose eponymous museum traces his monumental work. The city also hosts the Place des Écritures and the Saint-Sauveur abbey church, offering exceptionally rich heritage.

A Committed and Solidarity-Based Clothing Sale

The solidarity clothing sale at Espace des Possibles distinguishes itself from traditional flea markets by its commitment to ethical fashion, second-hand goods, and clothing sobriety. The clothes offered are carefully sorted and selected for their quality: adults, children, all sizes, all seasons. Buyers can refresh their wardrobe at affordable prices, in a way that respects the environment and natural resources.

Solidarity and Circular Economy

The solidarity aspect of this event is at the heart of its organization. The proceeds help to fund local projects, cultural or social initiatives led by Espace des Possibles or its partners. By purchasing clothing at this sale, each participant contributes to a virtuous economic cycle that values existing resources rather than consuming new items. The event is open to everyone, in a spirit of warm welcome and without discrimination.
