A trick to negotiating, do not rave about how beautiful the item is to the seller 😊. It is amazing though to see items hundreds of years old, in the U.S. There’s just not a lot of finds in antique shops that olde.
And do not say that the price offered by the dealer is "cheap"....Billy had no where to go to get the price down after saying how cheap they were and what a good price they are ...!!!
@Greg Appelgren My opinion exactly!! At that point the Brocanteur, as Ryan called him, already knows he's dealing with someone who wants it, plans to purchase it, especially now because Ryan loudly declared to Billy it was a good price, in front of the very shrewd "Brocanteur"!!! 🇺🇲
I’m impressed by how easily you are able to switch between English and French! I enjoyed the shopping trip! The commode and chest of drawers were my favorites.
Frenchman or as a classic Quebequois or even as a Parisian. Ah zut alors!!! Ah tebernac! Merci mon amis... and yet I am able to fool a french friend of mine for 4 years. One day he takes a call from his new wife to be and I hear his say in French Bonjours ma belle! So I said ah you speak French too.. oh he was angry... well specially that I said it in French....
It's not that hard to switch from French to English. Moi je suis francophone! But I live amongst many English friends. As I can fully conversed in both languages at the same time. And best is I can do it as An Ontario
Oh Ryan two of the green chairs would be great for your office. They are exquisite & look very comfortable! I love those green chairs-excellent condition❣️😅
Wow Micheal is doing well this week. Sean made him a beautiful bread board and now he's got a lovely copper ladle. What a lucky chap. Alway like to see you and Billy shopping. Xxxx
It's amazing how many treasures are stacked up sky high. Since the USA is a young nation, we just don't have the quantity available. It's fun to shop with you guys! Thanks for taking us along!
I do understand why the shop is Billy's favorite.It has so many different styles and ages of furniture and nick nacks. It's lovely to walk in it and find all the new stuff what came in the last time.
Billie was waiting for his brocante shopping buddy to return. You guys make a great team looking for old antiques. Your enthusiasm needs to be dialed back a wee bit if you want to negotiate a deal however!🥴 Billie’s knowledge of suitable, rare antiques is boundless. Love these trips❣️
I lived in France for many years, I think you could have negotiated much much better. But that’s just my humble opinion. Knowing how the french think and reply to the first interaction, a more in-depth conversation usually give the seller pause fir thought. It’s a dance in France, and they do realise anyone outside of their commune will pay more, much much more 😊
I am so glad that you guys are together now I always love your shopping trips at the bracounts! This was no exception. You’re always so good about showing things and making us drool! Thanks Ryan sending love from California🤟🏻💜😎🤗🇺🇸
Lovely video again Ryan…..you have a lovely speaking voice when you’re not doing the cockney thing which you told me you picked from relatives….! Given you were brought up in France it’s great that you can switch so easily from one language to another and yes definitely better in my humble opinion to hear you speak in the lovely accent I heard you speak in the Brocante today…..! It’s also great to see you back helping Billy …….keep up the good work, your office is going to be a lovely place to work in !x 🙂
I love these great brocante videos - You should team up with interior decorators in the US to do virtual shopping for unique and beautiful pieces you can't find anywhere here. Those wall sconces with the crystals really caught my eye!
I enjoyed going antique shopping with you both! The copper items were a great find. Wish I was in the shop with you! The flat copper strainer, with all the holes, used to take meat & veggies out of broth after cooked.
I seem to remember that Bruneau gave you good deals in the past, most of my stuff came from there and he does really great prices. Best not to go too low when you make an offer, it's not a flea market ! xo
It's fun watching you and Billy together. The two of you are hilarious separately, but when you get together I truly can't help smiling from the beginning of the video right to the very end. It's obvious you both care about each other and genuinely enjoy each other's company.
Love your negotiating Ryan, I love it when you speak French I think the green chairs at 70 euros each were my favourite, as usual a great video much love xxxxxxxxxxx😘❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Ooh my Gosh!!! Unfortunately I have to live vicariously through you because if I went in that shop it would feel like I died and went to heaven.. THOSE STEAMER TRUNKS!!❤️❤️😍😍
I agree with the others as far as the negotiating goes. Gasping and gawking and everything, he knows you have money to spend. The trick is to seem uninterested and be willing to walk away. You would be surprised how many times they will come chase you down for the price they just told you "no" over if they think you're going to walk away without buying anything. Something else that helps is if you bundle things together they're more likely to come down on the price.
Love the commode chest looks as though it might be a period one and the long guilt wood side table which would have had a marble top Absolutely crack on with this antique hunting Kind regards Nicholas 😊
My walk was fantastic and I just listened to some great songs and getting in shape for my trip🙂 .. Yes more of this fun for the weekends. THANKS BOYS I love Laval wonderful town.
A fun day antiquing…. Super finds! Michael will be happy with the copper sieve.. I have one similar.. the handle is brass, sieve is copper! I enjoyed shopping with you and Billy 🥰
The only trick I use when negotiating (because I can’t do it) is being prepared to walk away. You need to decide if you want the item, how much you think it’s worth, and add on a bit for profit for the seller. If it’s meant to be you’ll get it, if it’s not then it’s because you didn’t really need it :) Love your vlogs, keep being you xx Ps you said to tell you what I liked in the broconte, well I can’t because I love everything vintage and I’d still be in there looking at stuff :) ;)
Oh Billy and you really know how to have a good time! I watch waaaaay too much brocanting adventures which is probably why I feel like I have seen this footage before especially when you go to the area where the trunks are lol but hey that just means I am obsessed lol!
I like your negotiation philosophy. Everyone has their own thoughts behind their offers. Keeping a good repoir with shops you frequent is also a good idea. Do what you're comfortable with. So glad you're back. Take a day off once in a while. Thanks for sharing
Great video Ryan. I like shopping with you. I like the way you scan the camera around and tell what you are looking at. All was adventures shopping with the two of you. Thanks again for the fun.
Always fun spending time with you and Billy, Ryan. Those green chairs would be pretty in a billiards room or a gentlemen's parlor. So many beautiful things. Hope you have a great weekend. 😘💕
Hey Ryan so glad to see you & Billy out shopping again, I wish I knew your fascination with the old trunks when there are so many beautiful pieces of furniture to look at. Oh well, see you next time. God Bless, Kathy 🇺🇸
That shop is my idea of heaven 😍 That beautiful statue next to the glass domed clock .. I was dreaming of it in life size for the convent chapel. Would be so lovely. Great video Ryan 👍
Ryan you are so interesting to follow around and you and Billy are so good together. I've been involved in selling items at our local Garage Sales and negotiating is the hardest part of it.....you did well....sure doesn't hurt to make an offer!
I'm so jealous of the antiques prices there. We have no supply in the US, and the ones that are here are so much more expensive. Maybe I should have you shop for me and I can ship it in half a container or so?!
I love frames. I have one just about the same size as the one you first looked at. I love it so much but I think I'm the only one in the family that appreciates it. It has a huge mirror in it. It takes several grown men to move it.
It is for skimming the top of soups and stocks. When the soup comes to a boil there is always foamy bits and pieces that come to the top. This utensil removes the scum but allows the fluid through. Especially important if you are making clear stocks or consommé
The slotted kitchen utensil is a SCIMMER. It is used to remove things from the top of pans eg the froth that can occur when boiling vegetables or excess fat that accumulates at the top of the pan.. It can also be used for lifting items out of a pan during or after cooking. It is not generally used in conjuction with a frying pan.
That was a beautiful antique frame. So ornate but not too over the top. A perfect frame to put the portrait of Billy in. And Billy is right there with you!!! Does Billy approve? I hope you got the frame. When you hang it in your office PLEASE do show us in your future uploads. Love all your videos. 👍
Love when you show us the Brocante.This one was so full of nice things. I bet that Michael will really love his Monogram on that copper piece. Bye see ya
Oh Ryan you need to say is that your best price, & be confident, always offer a bit less than what they say. I am in awe of the way you switch between English & French language. Thanks for sharing.
I have to ask you, Ryan, when did you learn to speak French? I live in Southern California, USA, so Spanish is my second language. I love your enthusiasm!
That large trunk would look good in the room with that huge ancient bed. And...Sean could work his magic and recreate the interior - add stacked trays to store clothing/linens/etc. Did you get that huge mirror?
I like hearing you speak French, most definitely a romantic language!! That antique shop sure has the stuff. I love antique shopping, but for some reason I seem to get anxious and want to get out quickly. Guess I am feeling the spirits of the past and their furniture or something. (Weird I know)
Hi Ryan! I absolutely love watching your videos. You have the best sense of humor and seem like a terrific guy! You always make me laugh and I love your choice of music. Much love from Indiana, USA. Keep smiling!
Ryan, nice video. Could you consider putting information about your music choices in the description?! Would be great to know the Music and artist you are featuring on your videos !! 🙂
A trick to negotiating, do not rave about how beautiful the item is to the seller 😊. It is amazing though to see items hundreds of years old, in the U.S. There’s just not a lot of finds in antique shops that olde.
I was thinking the same thing.
And do not say that the price offered by the dealer is "cheap"....Billy had no where to go to get the price down after saying how cheap they were and what a good price they are ...!!!
Sad but true ! Always be a bit nonchalant when at yard sales or antique stores .
Olde ....is the old way of spelling old.

The copper item with the holes is a antique Victorian/ Georgian dairy skimmer for making cream great video as always
It's amazing how many treasures are stacked up sky high. Since the USA is a young nation, we just don't have the quantity available. It's fun to shop with you guys! Thanks for taking us along!
Billy is all business at the brocante and he sure knows his stuff. You knew the prices were already a good value. Love the antique shopping! 💜💜💜
I do understand why the shop is Billy's favorite.It has so many different styles and ages of furniture and nick nacks. It's lovely to walk in it and find all the new stuff what came in the last time.
Love coming along for the antique shopping, so much to look at.
Billie was waiting for his brocante shopping buddy to return. You guys make a great team looking for old antiques. Your enthusiasm needs to be dialed back a wee bit if you want to negotiate a deal however!🥴
Billie’s knowledge of suitable, rare antiques is boundless. Love these trips❣️
It's good to see you back on line with your very positive attitude. Don't change Ryan, you beautiful soul 🌈
You're a good person, Ryan. I appreciate the filming of the Brocante. Good to see what is there and the vastness of it! 💗
I lived in France for many years, I think you could have negotiated much much better. But that’s just my humble opinion. Knowing how the french think and reply to the first interaction, a more in-depth conversation usually give the seller pause fir thought. It’s a dance in France, and they do realise anyone outside of their commune will pay more, much much more 😊
Yes that is true , but in my opinion not only in France but everywhere worldwide.
Those green chairs would go beautifully in the billiard room!
Love it when you go to antique shops with Billy, you take time to translate for us which makes it so interesting. Beautiful items there. Thnk you 💕🇦🇺
I am so glad that you guys are together now I always love your shopping trips at the bracounts! This was no exception. You’re always so good about showing things and making us drool! Thanks Ryan sending love from California🤟🏻💜😎🤗🇺🇸
Hiya Ryan,,love these outings with you both.Have a nice weekend.
I always love going along to the antique stores with you and Billy!
Lovely video again Ryan…..you have a lovely speaking voice when you’re not doing the cockney thing which you told me you picked from relatives….!

Love having you back Ryan! ❤it’s always fun with you two out and about.
Thank you for a wonderful vlog! Beautiful antiques!! Love hearing your French conversations.
Weekend brocanting with the boys is a nice change of pace.
I seem to remember that Bruneau gave you good deals in the past, most of my stuff came from there and he does really great prices. Best not to go too low when you make an offer, it's not a flea market ! xo

I love exploring those types of shops. You have to dig to find treasures.
I love seeing the antique shops because we (in Canada) just don't have things as old as what is available in France. Thanks for sharing Ryan.
Brilliant video Ryan. What a treasure trove of antiques!!!
Love your negotiating Ryan, I love it when you speak French I think the green chairs at 70 euros each were my favourite, as usual a great video much love xxxxxxxxxxx😘❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Ooh my Gosh!!! Unfortunately I have to live vicariously through you because if I went in that shop it would feel like I died and went to heaven.. THOSE STEAMER TRUNKS!!❤️❤️😍😍
It always makes me happy to see you Ryan & when you & Billy are together it's even better. Love from Australia.
Oh Love Going Shopping With You Two, Thank You for Taking me Along 👌👍💕💕💕
Loved the shopping trip! Loved those green chairs.
Chandeliers, mirrors, copper … let me get my coat & bag & come with you Ryan! I love a good haggle .. as you say, to try & get a bargain 😊
I agree with the others as far as the negotiating goes. Gasping and gawking and everything, he knows you have money to spend. The trick is to seem uninterested and be willing to walk away. You would be surprised how many times they will come chase you down for the price they just told you "no" over if they think you're going to walk away without buying anything.

Thank you Ryan for showing all, especially, love trunks and marble top items. You are a star
What a fabulous antique store. The prices are so much cheaper than in the states. So much fun. xx
Love the commode chest looks as though it might be a period one and the long guilt wood side table which would have had a marble top
Absolutely crack on with this antique hunting
Kind regards Nicholas 😊
It was lovely visiting the antique shop with you ❤️ I wish I could have been there in person it's loaded with treasures that I love ❤️
Loving your vlogs! Thank you for all the work and time you put into making them..
My walk was fantastic and I just listened to some great songs and getting in shape for my trip🙂 .. Yes more of this fun for the weekends. THANKS BOYS
I love Laval wonderful town.
Thank you Ryan for sharing your day . I always enjoy your videos . I enjoy the music as well . ❤️🙏🏻 God bless
Love, love, love going to brocantes with you and I can see why it’s your favorite! So much to see and explore in there!
Shopping with The Boys is always fun!!
You are in your element browsing with Billy for that unusual find...I love to see you back together and having fun 😊 Well done!
I looove whenever you go antique shopping. So much fun seeing all those old beautiful furniture and things!😍🦇
That was wonderful. I'm a bit overwhelmed with all the 'stuff' to look at...I want more!
A fun day antiquing…. Super finds! Michael will be happy with the copper sieve.. I have one similar.. the handle is brass, sieve is copper!
I enjoyed shopping with you and Billy 🥰
I think the green chairs, both leather & velvet would work well in the library! Lots to love in that shop!

Hey Ryan so glad to see you & Billy out shopping again, I wish I knew your fascination with the old trunks when there are so many beautiful pieces of furniture to look at. Oh well, see you next time. God Bless, Kathy 🇺🇸
Me alegra mucho verte de nuevo.. Haces ameno.. Los capítulos.. Felicitaciones.. Un abrazo desde chile 💪🇨🇱🐑🐧🥂
There was some amazing goodies in that Brocante. Billy scored well with the copper shame he couldn’t get any more money off. Lovely tour thank you
Love going antiquing with you and Billy I also enjoy traveling the French countryside vicariously.
That shop is my idea of heaven 😍 That beautiful statue next to the glass domed clock .. I was dreaming of it in life size for the convent chapel. Would be so lovely. Great video Ryan 👍
FANTASTIC ANTIQUES INTHIS LOVELY BROCANTE!!!
YOU ARE GREAT, RYAN!!!
💖💖💖💖💖
Ryan you are so interesting to follow around and you and Billy are so good together. I've been involved in selling items at our local Garage Sales and negotiating is the hardest part of it.....you did well....sure doesn't hurt to make an offer!
My goodness 😳 😍 your video made me want to jump on a plane and fly the 20,000 kms so I could shop my wee heart out with you ♥️
Good to see you and Billy back in the old familiar places. Has to be finished - that my heart embraces!!!
Beautiful music today Ryan
Wow those clouds in the beginning when you were driving were gorgeous!
Love when you guys for shopping!!
I'm so jealous of the antiques prices there. We have no supply in the US, and the ones that are here are so much more expensive. Maybe I should have you shop for me and I can ship it in half a container or so?!
So jelly...what a fun day in the brocante...of course every antiquing adventure is fun...what, no taxidermy...great stuff, love the domes...!
So enjoyed our trip to the antique shop, wow what a coincidence Michaels initials on the spoon, he’ll love it.
Omg I would love to have those green chairs
Love looking at all antiques.
You forgot to ask about the price of the fabric covered table.
Love your videos when you are antiquing. You are so talented with your editing. Thanks for the great and entertaining videos much appreciated.
Love this video, I love antiques but have never gone hunting for some, I hope to soon! Thanks, Ryan, as always, very entertaining and engaging.
If I ever go to France again, and am looking for antiques, I'm looking you up Ryan. Well done Ryan! 🤗
So fun to see you fellows back at the brocante. 🧡
I love frames. I have one just about the same size as the one you first looked at. I love it so much but I think I'm the only one in the family that appreciates it. It has a huge mirror in it. It takes several grown men to move it.

I love french antiques - someday someday I will be able to afford

A perfect frame to put the portrait of Billy in.
And Billy is right there with you!!! Does Billy approve?
I hope you got the frame.
When you hang it in your office PLEASE do show us in your future uploads.
Love all your videos. 👍
So many beautiful things in the shop.
I’ve really missed the trips to the brocantes. Thank you so much for this!
You’re the perfect negotiator Ryan. You tried but didn’t conquer and were a good sport about it. Thanks for the subtitles, we appreciate that.
Love when you show us the Brocante.This one was so full of nice things. I bet that Michael will really love his Monogram on that copper piece. Bye see ya
WISH I WAS THERE. ABSOLUTELY AMAZING ❤️ 👌
Oh Ryan you need to say is that your best price, & be confident, always offer a bit less than what they say. I am in awe of the way you switch between English & French language. Thanks for sharing.

wonderfull ! it shows the richness and culture of old french!
I love hearing you say the chateau’s name!!
Hi Ryan! I absolutely love watching your videos. You have the best sense of humor and seem like a terrific guy! You always make me laugh and I love your choice of music. Much love from Indiana, USA. Keep smiling!
Ryan, nice video. Could you consider putting information about your music choices in the description?! Would be great to know the Music and artist you are featuring on your videos !! 🙂
Great song Ryan. Would you be open to posting the artist?
like the subtitle translation. good job Ryan.
