What you can find at the brocante if truth be told is pure delight
the possibilities are endless and surprising.
There are miles and miles of fairs and stacks of boxes and places to go all over France.
The list of things one can find is from simple everyday pieces to the rare and unusual and often at an affordable price.
A great way to see France and learn about its culture and history is to go to the brocante.
The brocante never ceases to amaze me even if I am a bit jaded by certain things. That is one of the sinkholes to antiquing
the more I learn, the more I know, the more I seek out pieces that are harder and harder to find.
Sure I buy for clients that is my
work and I buy what they ask me to find which is not necessarily those pieces that are hard to find and one of a kind.
Finding things, the hunt, the challenge is what I enjoy most, that is the part of my work that makes the other 60 percent worth it.
Carrying, packing, accountant, is not so fun.
All the above photos were taken within a few minutes and within fifteen feet.
Tempted?
If you love antiquing France is your rockstar, bucket list, lover, paradise, happy place.
and if you like bread, wine, and cheese…
Oh la la.
