Intro
Knowing where the best flea markets in France are, is the prerequisite for a successful antiquing trip there. A visit to a Brocante (a French word for flea market) can be the highlight of a trip to France. It is a lively encounter with everyday French culture, and an exciting way to spend a few hours. It is also a chance to pick up a unique souvenir or add to a collection.
Each year, more than 15,000 flea markets and garage sales take place across the country. Such events gather crowds of onlookers in search of a bargain, a rare item, a decorating idea, or a souvenir.
