Catalpa Posted August 14, 2011 Share Posted August 14, 2011 Unless your goods are very cheap and cheerful, in general, go where the money is. [:D] That is larger towns like Caen, Rouen, etc and seaside towns in season such as Granville, Trouville, Deauville, Honfleur... In our experience, if the visitors to an expo are the local, rural French people, they go to look but don't (gross generalisation) have the inclination or perhaps the disposible income to buy. So you need to be where the wealthier inhabitants and visitors are... or at least at exhibitions that they will visit. Or have something personal to offer such as not-too-expensive paintings of their houses, their kids, their pets...Have you been round a few larger craft fairs? The style of many arts and crafts things are just slightly different to what a British eye finds attractive. I would walk around a craft fair in southern England and often be spoilt for choice as to what I wanted to buy. Here... not so much. Or at all. Whereabouts (approximately) in Normandy will you be? There are several AngloFrench organisations who organise craft fairs... one in northern Mayenne, for eg. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
