Brocante ici
As part of our “holiday” we were on our way to visit Saintes with its Roman amphitheatre and cathedral. The day was sleeting and cold. Just too late I saw a handpainted sign, Brocante. But a quick right hand turn and a bumpy track behind a factory brought us round to another sign saying “Brocante […]
I scraped the icy windscreen on a black Sunday morning. Time for the monthly vide-grenier in Rochefort.
