Weedon Posted April 2, 2005 Share Posted April 2, 2005 Bought a little book the other day that lists all the different types of antique/junk sales in the Pays de Loire region. I looked to see what was on next week in 53 and saw there is one, its called Bourses. I looked in my dictionary to see what it was and to say I was surprised was an understatement. I am not sure I am bold enough to ask my neighbour if she can confirm it for me. My dictionary says its......sort of......tackle.....not fishing, the other sort.weedon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jo Taylor Posted April 4, 2005 Share Posted April 4, 2005 "Bourse d'Échanges" is usually used for collectors' meets - the equivalent to a UK "swapmeet". Models (railways and cars), trade cards, phone cards, etc. etc. They began as venues for enthusiasts to meet, talk, swap items and sell a bit. Mostly now just selling.Jo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
