Children's Garage Sale – Nové Josserand School (Lyon 3rd)

A 100% children's garage sale in the heart of the 3rd

The Nové Josserand School Children's Garage Sale stands apart from ordinary garage sales through its specialisation in children's items. Organized by the Parents' Association (APE) of Nové Josserand elementary school in Lyon's 3rd arrondissement, it offers exclusively toys, baby and children's clothing, children's books, educational games, baby equipment and children's accessories. This thematic focus makes it particularly popular among young Lyon families.

Toys, clothing and children's books at low prices

Sellers — mostly families from the school and neighbourhood — offer a carefully sorted selection of good-quality items: branded toys (LEGO, Playmobil, board games), baby and children's clothing in all sizes, picture books and children's novels, children's comics, and also pushchairs, bikes, scooters and sports equipment. Prices are well below new market rates, and every purchase contributes to the circular economy.

An eco-responsible and community-minded approach

Beyond the economic aspect, the Nové Josserand APE garage sale is part of an eco-responsible approach: giving a new life to children's items — often barely used as children grow so fast — is a concrete way of fighting waste. The event also builds bonds between school and neighbourhood families in a spirit of solidarity and sharing. Part of the proceeds goes to the APE to fund educational outings and projects for pupils.

The Nové Josserand neighbourhood in Lyon 3rd

Nové Josserand school is located in Lyon's 3rd arrondissement, one of the city's most populous and dynamic districts. The neighbourhood is characterised by dense urban fabric, apartment buildings, local shops and an intense community life. The 3rd is also home to the Part-Dieu business district and the Guillotière market. It is an arrondissement in full evolution, attracting young families and new residents.
