<p>[QUOTE="Jo Taylor, post: 107900, member: 372"]And in France we have <i>Vide-Greniers</i> (literally, empty-attics). Also known as "<i>Foire a Tout</i>", <i>Foire aux Greniers</i>" or "<i>Brocante</i>" (the latter is also the name for a B&M shop selling all sorts of old stuff, they vary in quality). Same concept as in the UK - car or van, a couple of metres of space, similar prices and venues. Sometimes held in the streets of a town which is cordoned off for the day with nearby (or not very nearby!) parking. Some allow traders, others don't. If a private individual you're allowed to sell at two outside your own town per year, otherwise you must be a registered business with the correct registration for selling at markets. The outdoor ones are usually held from Easter to October, and usually on a Sunday. Each town (or <i>commune</i>) will have only one or two a year. There are a few regular ones as well but they tend to be at the antique end of the market.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
