val douest Posted February 18, 2005 Share Posted February 18, 2005 I don't know the area around Bergerac but if there is an Emmaus charity enterprise anywhere nearby, that would be well worth a look. There is a huge one just outside Pau which sells all kinds of secondhand stuff including furniture, much of it renovated in their own workshops.The other places which seem to be in most big towns are the Troc de l'Isle stores which sell secondhand goods on behalf of the owners for a percentage. They also sell new stuff (including beds).Try your Pages Jaunes to see if there are any of the above near you - or if you are on the edge of a Department (we're on the edge of four!) look up www.pagesjaunes.fr to find out about adjacent departments too.Good luck,Val Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoddy Posted February 18, 2005 Share Posted February 18, 2005 There is definitely a Troc d'Isle in Bergerac. I used to visit their website on a regular basis, but I can't find the link at the moment. They tend to put the more expensive items on the web - there's usually much more at the shop.There's also at least one depot vente on one of the junctions on the southern ring road.Hoddy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lafermedegrandjean Posted February 18, 2005 Share Posted February 18, 2005 Hi, Troc is on the Perigeux road N21 just outside the town. I live very close if you want to pop in. There is also a Noz for out of stock new stuff. Hours of rummaging!!Good luck Louise Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dog Posted February 19, 2005 Share Posted February 19, 2005 There are also two more Trocs in Perigueux.The one near Bouzelac is run by French Canadians I think as the speak very good English.The other is near Auchan and has only just re-opened.

Manda Posted February 20, 2005 Author Share Posted February 20, 2005 Thank you everyone for replying to my message.It is an expensive business having a house in France and sometimes a bit confusing as well We will be over in Easter so will try to find the troc place in Bergerac then.CheersAmanda Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zuluboy Posted February 26, 2005 Share Posted February 26, 2005 I have found the Trocs very expensive - I ended up buying new (especially white goods) because the Troc prices were dearer in many cases. The village Grenier sales are good but mostly I have carted everything from the UK (car boots) and saved loads. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
