Spring "Empty your room!" organized by the children of the Corvées-les-Yys school
Every spring in April, Les Corvées-les-Yys organizes its "Empty your room!" event. Led by the Children's Municipal Council (CME), this initiative allows village schoolchildren to sell their second-hand toys, books, and clothes. A family-friendly and supportive car boot sale in this village of Perche d'Eure-et-Loir, held in the town square or the community hall.
Every year in April, the village of Corvées-les-Yys (28240) mobilizes for the "Empty your room!" operation. This original event is managed by the commune's Children's Municipal Council (CME), which renews this second-hand sale event for the younger generation each year.
Children attending the village primary school are invited to register with the town hall to participate. Each registered child has a table inside the community hall to sell their toys, children's books, and children's clothing. An ideal opportunity to sort through childhood belongings, learn the basics of selling, and make some profit from items that have become too small.
The "Empty your room!" operation takes place alongside the commune's general car boot sale, which welcomes adult exhibitors outside, in the village parking lot or square. This dual intergenerational event creates a festive and friendly atmosphere, where young and old share public space for a spring day.
Corvées-les-Yys is a small village in Eure-et-Loir, located in the Perche region, on the border between the Eure-et-Loir and Orne departments. This rural and hedged agricultural area, characteristic of the Perche eurelien, benefits from a green living environment. Despite its small size, the commune boasts an active community life thanks to its associations and an engaged Children's Municipal Council. The "Empty your room!" operation is a prime example of this.
The "Empty your room!" operation in Corvées-les-Yys returns in April 2026, led by the Children's Municipal Council. Registration at the town hall for schoolchildren wishing to participate.
Corvées-les-Yys (28240) is accessible from La Loupe (approx. 10 km) and from Nogent-le-Rotrou (approx. 20 km). Parking available in the village.
