    South of France, the sound of crickets, the sound of freedom, freedom to let oneself follows ones intuition, inspiration, to walk among nostalgia of times more simple.
    Just feel like buying a lot of this rainbow of goodies.
    Thanks for this trip in a piece of paradise on earth !

    I'm in the south of France now and took your advice and rented a car and am so glad I did. I've avoided the toll roads and have got to explore the countryside going from Vide-grenier to vide grenier. It's been wonderful.

      I’m so glad! I only wish I was in France at the moment so we could meet... I’m in the Greek islands for the first time. Would have loved to hit a few antique shops while here, but haven’t seen any! Have a fantastic time, I’m so glad you rented a car. Maybe next time you come we can meet for coffee. All the best,

      Oh Tobey, so glad you enjoyed it. Just filmed a wonderful vide-grenier in an olive grove across from a cut h outside Aix, but I have a few other videos to publish before I can get to it. I think you’ll enjoy it too 😄 PS as I am finally nearing 1000 subscribers, I just want to let you know that it means a lot to have had your support from the very start...

    You were whipping that camera, it was nauseating. Brocante #1, had some interesting finds. The scales were great. I wish we could have seen the beautiful furniture better. I didn't see much painted pieces. #2, dusty flea market. Gotta really look close to see the treasures. I didn't see any crystal chandeliers. #3, nice wood furniture, odd things, bronze sculpture, mirrored vanity. #4, Pompeii standing planter, lovely wood dressers, cabinets, armoires. Gorgeous dishes, rose petals on branches, dessert and dinner plates. Thanks for showing us around.

      Oh, the ceramic one? I only noticed that when I was editing and thought how cute it would be removed from the wood and mounted directly on the wall of a powder room in place of a sink!

    what I find amazing in France, all over; the worst priced Brocantes are the scary junk shops! they are hoarders who really don't want to sell is all I can sort out. I've been to so many that are over the top priced and just chaos and dirty. the real sellers are the ones who do make them really nice and have normal pricing, its crazy to me
