A Brocante and Flea Market Fest during a Two day French Bank Holiday/ Fete Day. We went to several vide greniers/brocantes/flea markets and found quite a few bargains and had fun meeting up with friends.
Thank you so much to everyone who chooses to support us by buying a coffee/beer,

We are Tony and Jane and we are living in and renovating our old Relais De Poste/Coaching Inn.
We live in the middle of France in a region called The Berry.
We have over 40 rooms to renovate so there is plenty of work to be done. We also love to trawl the local Brocantes, flea markets and antique shops for quirky furnishings and furniture.
We love to find out about local history and often visit other peoples buildings including our friends’ Chateaux.

I didnt know if my nerves could stand watching Tony bring down another giant tree, but bargain hunting, I'm coming along!

I love brocantes! I really enjoy coming along with you when you go to them.

@judiehavard4903 Ай бұрын

The scrolls are a great find. So many uses for them. Gates balconies doors signage or flower pot hangers. Outdoor lamps. Tony can have fun with those. Would be good to frame a window as well.😊

@rt3box6tx74 Ай бұрын

That writing desk is 👍. Thanks Jane and Tony, I enjoyed shopping with you. I would have owned that brass lion door knocker if I'd been there.

I always love “shopping”at Brocantes with you and Tony. I love the way, Tony looks and examines things. Happy shopping! I’m trying to catch up to your vlogs that I have missed and I am doing it in reverse order . 😂

That was a great video. I would have bought the coffee set as a gift! Thank you for showing the stalls so clearly. The chair at the end was perfect.

The copper measuring spoons would look good in the bread oven room on the wall.😊

@pameladalton9975 Ай бұрын

I love it when you brocante shopping. Jane, does Tony ever let you buy the items you show us that you admire?! 😂

@denisew1916 Ай бұрын

Hey, I love your purchases. The table is beautiful and I’m thinking the carving is an eagle or similar, though at first sight I thought it was a cat. Looking forward to seeing you both soon. Love to you and Tony x

I`m wondering: if you don`t know what something is, why not simply ask it? I wanted to know too, you could have educated us. Love you two and how you let us in on your life. Greetings from the Netherlands

Heat lamp for a hairdresser? Or old fashioned and dangerous sun bed lamp? They’re my guesses 😊

@cherylmcnair5594 Ай бұрын

I can paint my nails now, I didn't have to bite them lol. A brocant is a lovely change from tree felling. I love the table, the carving on the drawer looks like a cat that wants to be a dragon 😊 ❤ 👋

Is it an infra red lamp ????

@theophiluskampfer1439 Ай бұрын

I'm no expert but, if it's old, then I suspect the scrimshaw on the tusk with the carving of John Paul Jones may be worth some serious money. At 19:33, regarding the brass piece with the initials S L d H; could they signify Societe Legion d'Honneur?

@notquiteachateaudiy Ай бұрын

I didn't ask the price of the scrimshaw tusk, but it had a Do not touch label on it, which usually means it is expensive Theophilus. You are right about the Legion d'Honneur, thank you for the info x
