Interiors: How to pick up secondhand bargains in France | Life and style | The Guardian.

It’s the time of year when the French ‘empty their attics’ and put their unwanted treasures up for sale at the local Vide-Grenier (car boot sale to us).
This weekend was the turn of St Gervais d’Auvergne and it was quite a turn-out. The whole town centre was packed with stalls full of interesting stuff.

I managed to pick up some lovely vintage linen, now for sale in the shop

I’ve been treasure hunting at the local Brocante (St Eloy les Mines). They have lots of vintage enamelware, crockery and glasses – I was in heaven!
Some of these items will be going in our shop.
