Arnouville-lès-Mantes Clothing Sale

A community clothing sale in the rural Mantois

Organised by the Rural Centre of Arnouville-lès-Mantes, this winter clothing sale is an eagerly awaited event in this small Yvelines commune a few kilometres south of Mantes-la-Jolie. It fits into a long tradition of village community life, where the event both enlivens the village and funds the Rural Centre's activities throughout the year.

Clothing, shoes and accessories at gentle prices

The principle is simple: individuals sell their clothes and accessories that they no longer wear, and visitors come to discover second-hand items at small prices. Adults and children alike find something for themselves: sweaters, dresses, jeans, coats, shoes, bags, costume jewellery, belts and fashion accessories. A great fit for sustainable consumption.

The Jules Duport community hall as setting

The clothing sale takes place at the Jules Duport community hall, a well-known venue for Arnouville-lès-Mantes residents. Indoors, in a heated and weather-protected setting, exhibitors and visitors enjoy ideal conditions to browse at ease. A refreshments stand is usually set up by Rural Centre volunteers.

Supporting local community life
