Vide ta chambre APE Victor Hugo

Empty Your Room: When Children Become Exhibitors

The concept of "Vide ta chambre" is increasingly popular with families in the Bassin d'Arcachon. Organized by the APE of the Victor Hugo school in La Teste-de-Buch, this event allows children to directly sell items they no longer use: toys, plush toys, books, board games, costumes, school supplies, and clothes. A fun and educational formula that introduces youngsters to commerce and recycling.

Place Gambetta, the Beating Heart of La Teste

Place Gambetta is the central square of La Teste-de-Buch, the largest municipality in the Bassin d'Arcachon by area. Lined with plane trees, shops, and cafes, it regularly hosts markets and events. On the day of the Vide ta chambre, it transforms into a joyful, colorful bazaar where families set up with blankets and trestle tables. The atmosphere is relaxed, prices are modest, and exchanges between children are lively.

A Family Event for a Good Cause

Beyond the fun aspect, the Vide ta chambre organized by APE Victor Hugo is also a solidarity event. The proceeds from registrations fund the school's educational projects: school trips, educational materials, cultural activities. The parents' association also runs a refreshment and cake stand that contributes to the funding. La Teste-de-Buch, the gateway town to the Bassin d'Arcachon between pine forests and the lagoon, offers a pleasant setting for this family treasure hunt morning.
