Week 26 2012


Hello!
Espiet - not just a brocante/vide-grenier

What is the difference between a Brocante and a Vide-grenier?

According to my dictionary, a Vide-grenier is a bric-a-brac sale and a Brocante is bric-a-brac trade or a flea market.  At the other end of the dictionary a Boot Sale translates as a Brocante and a flea market as a marche aux puces.  So, in theory a Vide-grenier is empty your attic, a sort of cross between a car-boot sale, a flea market and a yard sale.  On the other hand, a brocante is… (answers on a postcard please…) ?

St Pey d'Armens
Nevertheless, there are plenty coming up and you never know what you might discover, I know someone who found a diamond ring in a €1 box of junk jewellery.

This is also the season of Night Markets.  BL tells me that the one at St-Seurin-de Prats on Sunday was a great success with lots of people.  From mid-July it should be possible to find one most evenings of the week.  If you know about one that isn’t mentioned then you can always add it in the form of a comment at the bottom of the page – it can even be anonymous.

Have a good week,

Best wishes,
