The largest second-hand children’s clothing and toys sale in Lake Geneva
International children's clothing sale
Geneva, Switzerland – This is the mother of all second-hand sales in the Lake Geneva region. Bikes, roller blades, camping- or snow-equipment, books in English for children and adults, video games, DVDs, toys, board games, strollers and top quality baby equipment, as well as clothing for children and women, can be found under one roof, twice a year in Geneva.
This is not for the faint of heart.
On sale day, would-be shoppers form a frenzied line stretching out the front door and around the block, waiting for the doors to open.
At 1 pm, the shopping craze begins.
The most experienced shoppers go directly for the things they want or need. Less experienced shoppers are bumped to and fro by the mass of people swarming around them.
