Vide-grenier des écoles de Nyons

The Vide-grenier des écoles de Nyons: Treasure hunting for children

Each end of the school year, the parent-teacher associations of Nyons organize their big annual car boot sale. This event of solidarity and conviviality raises funds to finance educational outings, artistic and cultural projects, and extracurricular activities for the students of Nyons schools.

An end-of-school-year gathering

The date of June 21, 2025 — the summer solstice and Fête de la Musique — gave a particularly festive feel to this edition. At the end of the school year, families, teachers, and residents gather to clear out closets and attics, creating a popular fair atmosphere where you meet your neighbors, parents from other classes, and local shopkeepers. It's the ideal opportunity to lighten your homes before the holidays while contributing to a good local cause.

A school tradition rooted in Nyons life

Nyons, a town of about 7,000 inhabitants, has several public and private educational institutions that foster an active educational community. Parent-teacher associations play an essential role in local school life, organizing events throughout the year that strengthen the link between the school and the town. This end-of-year car boot sale is one of the highlights of this associative calendar.

Items for everyone and for children

True to its family audience, this car boot sale offers items for children — clothing, toys, games, books, school supplies — alongside the essential trinkets, tableware, and adult clothing. Bargains are plentiful at this type of event, where motivated sellers and savvy buyers meet in a spirit of sharing and circular economy.
