La brocante or vide grenier is like a yard sale mixed with and antique market and a flea market altogether.
The amount of markets that run every week is just amazing, you can check out this site to see if there are any near you this weekend!
Personally I adore this vide grenier or brocante because you find real treasures, from clothes to furniture, art, toys, you can find almost everything there and the best thing is that most of the things are old (vintage) so its real quality. If you suffer from constant ‘nostalgie d’hier’ that’s the place for you.
If you are looking to explore French culture, or you are looking to furnish your new place this is a great option. If you are only curious and want to go take a glance don’t hesitate it is always exciting and ‘enrichissant’.
In the opposite sense, if you have things you want to get rid of to make some cash thru the same site you can reserve a place and open your own stand and sell your things!
Have a nice shopping!
