1. Our search field is quite sensitive to the words used and their spelling. Don't hesitate to use words belonging to the same lexical field (e.g. "camping" for "tent"). You can also select "item families" to filter our items by category.
2. If after trying everything you don't find what you're looking for, it's quite possible that we don't have the item in question. Don't hesitate to send us your recommendations using the form at the bottom of this page.
3. Other object libraries or lending services exist and may have the object you're looking for.

We don't offer a repair service as such. However, we do organize an annual repair-café with other associations.
You can find out more in our "workshops" section.
