Humanitarian Car Boot Sale of Grigny (May)

The Grigny Humanitarian Car Boot Sale in May

On Saturday 16 May 2026, Grigny (69520) hosts its spring humanitarian car boot sale. Every year, this solidarity event mobilises local residents to clear their attics and cellars for humanitarian causes. Clothes, toys, books, crockery and all kinds of objects are offered at modest or pay-what-you-can prices. Beyond a simple second-hand market, this day embodies the values of generosity and mutual aid that characterise Grigny's associative fabric: every item sold becomes a concrete act of solidarity towards people in need, in France or abroad.

Grigny, a Working-Class Town Committed to Solidarity

Grigny is a town in the south of the Rhône département, on the banks of the river, between Givors and the Pilat massif. A former industrial town, it has built over the decades a strong culture of community solidarity. Humanitarian initiatives are numerous, led by neighbourhood associations, festival committees and tight-knit volunteer networks. The May humanitarian car boot sale is fully part of this tradition of collective mobilisation, proving that recycling and solidarity go hand in hand.
