Paris Saclay Christmas Bus 2026 campaign poster
Large solidarity toy collection with the "Christmas Bus"
As the end-of-year celebrations approach, the Île-de-France Mobilités bus network in the Paris Saclay area is mobilizing to bring a little magic to all children. From 14 to 21 November 2026, a Christmas-themed bus will travel through 8 municipalities in the area to collect toys for Emmaus and offer a warm Christmas to the most disadvantaged families.

🎁 How to participate in the big collection?
The principle is simple: come and drop off your toys in excellent condition directly on board the bus during its various passages. Dolls, board games, books, or construction games... Every donation counts! Cuddly toys are not accepted for health reasons.
All the donations collected will then be given in full to the local Emmaus teams, who will be responsible for redistributing them to the families supported.
💡 Practical information: For health and safety reasons, please ensure that the toys deposited are complete, clean and functional (no gift wrapping is necessary to facilitate sorting by the volunteers).
