Débal'Jouets and Childcare Items Sale of Espiens

The Débal'Jouets and Childcare Items Sale of Espiens

Every December, the village hall of Espiens (47600) hosts the Débal'Jouets and Childcare Items Sale, organized by the Parents' Association of Calignac, Espiens, and Le Saumont. This specialized market brings together parents and families from the area around a simple and clever idea: reselling toys that children no longer need to fund the purchase of new toys for Christmas, while also protecting the planet.

Toys, games, and childcare items at affordable prices

The event is entirely dedicated to toys, board games, children's books, childcare items, and baby equipment. The sellers are mostly individuals, parents of students from the three communes, who are clearing out their closets and attics before the holidays. Prices are affordable, items are in good condition, and there are many opportunities to find original Christmas gifts.

A refreshment stand and homemade treats

True to the friendly spirit of the APEs, the event includes a refreshment stand with hot drinks and homemade pastries prepared by the association's volunteers. This warm atmosphere, typical of a year-end market in a village in the Lot-et-Garonne, makes the Débal'Jouets a convivial moment appreciated by the entire school community.

The APE Calignac-Espiens-Le Saumont

The Parents' Association, which brings together families from the public schools of Calignac, Espiens, and Le Saumont, is a central player in the life of the villages in the canton of Barbaste. It organizes several events throughout the year to support teachers' educational projects, fund school trips, and maintain a strong link between families and the school. The December Débal'Jouets is its highly anticipated year-end event for parents.
