Kids' special flea market in Saint-Urbain
Saint-Urbain's Vide ta chambre (Empty Your Room) is a flea market specifically for kids, who sell their own no-longer-wanted things themselves. An educational, fun concept introducing children to second-hand values and money handling. October rendezvous in this Vendée commune.
Vide ta chambre at Saint-Urbain (85230) is a special concept: a kids-focused flea market where children themselves run their stalls, selling clothes, toys, books, comics, video games, plush — whatever's too small or no longer loved.
Educational format: second-hand (vs throwing away), money management (pricing, change), human contact (negotiating, chatting). Parents supervise; kids are the real actors of the day.
Part of events transmitting circular economy, autonomy, responsibility. Excellent for kid-to-visitor interaction, developing communication skills, understanding value. Parents often use it to buy small-budget gifts.
