Are you tired of pins, clothes, mascots and other souvenirs? After the Paris 2024 Olympic and Paralympic Games, many towns and cities in the Ile-de-France region are planning to hold major flea markets where you can buy furniture and accessories for less! It's a great way to give these objects a second life, so they don't end up forgotten in a corner, at the back of a shed...
From flags at Olympic venues to furniture, iconic volunteer bobs or some of the ceremonial dancers' outfits, the items to be salvaged are likely to be varied and sold for between 1 and 60 euros, enough to delight many collectors and nostalgic Games fans. Every weekend, towns such as Paris, Colombes, Nanterre and Pantin will be holding their own braderie, from September 14 to October 13, 2024.
Other Braderies des Jeux will be organized throughout France, to enable those who didn't experience the Games live to get a small piece of the event. As for the volleyball nets and referee chairs, they will be donated to sports clubs," Caroline Louis, Circular Economy Manager at Cojo, told France Info. According to her, some spectators had already started to appropriate pieces, taking away signs with the Olympic logo!
As for Seine-Saint-Denis, they've thought even bigger and are planning to get an Olympic pool and a skateboard module for their towns that need them!
