mustang boss 302 Posted March 13, 2011 Share Posted March 13, 2011 Hi all.Our village Saires La Verrerie has a very large car boot (thats what we call it in the UK) It takes over every road in the village, and there are lots of good items every year.I wondered if there was any other villages or towns that have such an event? for May day.

Suze01 Posted March 14, 2011 Share Posted March 14, 2011 Nearly every town in France I would imagine, certainly around here. Throughout the warmer months, not necessarily for May day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cendrillon Posted March 14, 2011 Share Posted March 14, 2011 Suze, you're right, most larger towns will have their monthly market (foire) as well as smaller weekly / daily markets.The car boot type markets are the vide-greniers or brocantes and usually there will be one every Sunday somewhere in your surrounding area.

Loiseau Posted March 14, 2011 Share Posted March 14, 2011 Time to trot out the link to the calendar of vide-greniershttp://vide-greniers.org/(sorry, can't seem to make it live" on my Mac).You can search by date, by departement, by region etc. It's very useful.Angela Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pachapapa Posted March 15, 2011 Share Posted March 15, 2011 Quite a few have MayDay events.The best one in the Deux-Sèvres_La Vienne region is at Moncontour.This year my favourite vide grenier site has a new feature; little green vertical bars indicating the number of exposants; useful.http://brocabrac.fr/Vide-grenier-MONCONTOUR-86-Dimanche%201er%20Mai%202011-141483 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
