Great shopping deal: the Giant Free Troc Party — a celebration of swapping everything in Paris, January 2026

Published by Audrey de Sortiraparis · Updated on December 30, 2025 at 09:22 p.m.
The Giant Free Swap Party is making a grand comeback this Saturday, January 31, 2026! Head to the Académie du Climat in the Marais for two sessions of free shopping, where you can exchange your old belongings for treasures from fellow participants. By the end of the event, you'll be leaving with a bag full of second-hand clothes, books, and decor — all without spending a single euro!

Recycling, swapping, giving new life to objects we cherish—this is the goal of the Free Troc Party! The upcoming event is scheduled for Saturday, January 31, 2026, at the Climate Academy in the Marais district of Paris. This time, there will only be two shopping sessions available—at 11:15 a.m. and 12:30 p.m.

In January 2026, the perennial crowd-pleaser—an open-to-all, free shopping event—will be celebrating its 62nd edition. Like in previous years at the Free Troc Party, everything is up for grabs! Swap clothes (for men, women, and kids), books, games, shoes, decorative objects, and much more. It’s all free, and everyone leaves with their favorite finds! No sales are allowed, and there’s no limit on how many items you can take home. Basically, it’s a shopping open bar!

This upcoming swap event will be lively with creative workshops for the whole family, along with a zero-waste communal brunch. And best of all, it's completely free!

Seats are limited to 350 participants, so you'll need to act fast. Register as soon as the registration form goes live on Tuesday, January 27 at 12 p.m. If you’re quick enough, you'll receive a confirmation email, and all that’s left is to show up at one of the two shopping sessions on January 31, 2026, at the Climate Academy.

The Giant Free Troc Party is your must-visit shopping and fashion event of the winter season!
