gail17 Posted October 17, 2004 Share Posted October 17, 2004 Hi We are on our way over to France next week for our first stay at this time of year. We have previously been across during the Spring/Summer so we are looking forward to it as it will be a little different for us. Could anyone, mainly Saintes/Cognac area possibly let me know if brocantes etc are still being held at this time of year, any other advice as to what might be happening would be also be really appreciated. Many thanks Gail Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GRT17 Posted October 17, 2004 Share Posted October 17, 2004 GailDo contact the tourist office in Pons and Saintes and collect a copy of the events booklet "le mois a Saintes". This should be available online as well.The local paper will sometimes advertise Brocantes, Vide Greniers and so on.Bon voyageGill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moorejw Posted October 18, 2004 Share Posted October 18, 2004 Most of the outdoor events finish in September, we are now into the season of Braderies (jumble sales to you and me). The local paper this week (l'Hebdo) has only 2 vide-greniers in 17. But you can still enjoy visiting Emmaus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vaughat Posted October 18, 2004 Share Posted October 18, 2004 There is an online publication that will give you information on brocantes in the areawww.aladinmag.com/html.fr/index.php, put in the department and the date and it will list any brocantes that are taking place. We went to one in Bris des Brois week before last that had over 250 stalls. Tony Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mikew Posted October 18, 2004 Share Posted October 18, 2004 Reading the ads in our local paper, it seems to be the season for Lotos, Belote, and Tea Dances!Also autumn fairs, (Food and produce) seem to be popular. MikeW, next door in 16. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
