Here’s another drawing I did of a beautiful mirror in one of the bedrooms at La Cascade. It’s all tooled silver with faceted glass. I’m sure it was from one of the Vide Greniers.
Every summer, every Sunday, there are flea markets to go to in the surrounding villages. Not only for great shopping,, but it’s also a great way to explore the wonderful charming villages and usually includes as an added benefit a beautiful drive through the French countryside of rolling hills and sunflower fields.
The Vide Greniers are a combination of people truly “emptying out their attics” and more professional antique dealers. I have found fabulous things from both the regular villagers and the dealers. What they might consider junk from the attic is what we would consider priceless french antiques. It’s a great treasure hunt. And prices are usually very low. Come join me!
