Vide ta chambre ! des Corvées-les-Yys

Empty your room! – the solidarity event for the children of Corvées-les-Yys

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.

An intergenerational car boot sale

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, a village in the Perche region of Eure-et-Loir

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.
