Individuals and families offer a diverse and abundant selection: clothing for all ages, toys, books, records, electronics, tableware, tools, small furniture, and various knick-knacks.

Generous pitches at an attractive price

The price of €15 for a 5x4m pitch is particularly advantageous, offering 20 square meters of space to exhibitors.
