ajuk Posted June 26, 2005 Share Posted June 26, 2005 HiI recently tried to find details of "car boot"/brocante style markets but failed - tourist information gave only details of brocante shops which I have found can be a little pricey.Can anyone point me in the right direction to find out what markets are around the Pathenay area in Deux Sevre department - or slightly further afield? I need to accessories the house now it is starting to take shape!!Thanksaj Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CatherineS2 Posted June 26, 2005 Share Posted June 26, 2005 I don't know anything about your area, but near our house in Normandy there are the French equivalent of car boot sales nearly every weekend in some village or other - they are called "Foire a tout" and they are usually advertised on posters by the side of the road. We always go if we are around - they are usually full of the same old tat that you get at UK car boot sales, but you can usually find the odd gem among the rubbish!I am sure they must also be advertised in the local paper (although I have never looked).Hope this helps.
