Patf Posted November 7, 2007 Share Posted November 7, 2007 Look in your Pages Jaune for Brocante. - these are 2nd hand furniture stores. They have a lot of rubbish but you may be lucky and find a bargain. Or Emmaus is a charity network which sells 2nd hand stuff. We aren't in 33 but once visited a place on the way to Bordeaux, near Langon, on the main road. Not the motorway. Have you looked on ebay.fr? You might be lucky and find things for sale near you.

Rob Roy Posted November 10, 2007 Share Posted November 10, 2007 Also look under Depot Vente - Troc 3000 and Troc de l'Isle both do some good stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kitty Posted November 29, 2007 Share Posted November 29, 2007 There's a very good Emmaus at 33290 Parempuyre, if it's not too far for you. This is a charity that helps the homeless. They have depots throughout France. Furniture is donated to them for sale. They have a large warehouse, stuffed full of second hand furniture, light fittings, toys, skis, electrical goods, rugs, clothes etc etc. It has a high turnover, judging by the numbers of people waiting for it to open at 2pm each day.Opening times for the Parempuyre depot, I think, are:Weekdays: 14-18 hrsSaturdays: 9-12 & 14-18 hrsSundays (only 1st in month): 14-18 hrsCheck first before travelling as they can close unexpectedly. Tel: 05 56 35 25 26. Email: [email protected]You have to sift through the rubbish (unbelievably, they put out broken crockery & dolls with one leg for sale) and you have to look for the bargains. Never go there wanting something specific. My best bargains have always been unexpected finds. Outdoor furniture, needing TLC, at 1 euro each, kitchen cabinets at 5 euros each. Some stuff can be very pricey, compared to UK prices. I have virtually furnished my entire house there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
