Digging at a Brocante Dealer’s Garage

The French la Vie – imagine coming to France for one reason: antique hunting. Not museums. Not tours. Just days searching through markets, garages, brocantes, homes, and shops packed with things from another time.

Today we went to an antique dealer’s garage. Nothing was styled or perfect. Boxes everywhere. Pulling out and opening boxes hoping for a good surprise. An Hermes scarf – that will do.

That’s how these trips work. Wake up early, drink coffee, hunt all day, in a variety places- no one leaves empty handed, we talk about what everyone found over dinner, then giddy do it again the next morning.
