We started our day early this morning as we love to get to the Vide Greniers as early as possible before all the best items have gone. We arrived just after 9am but a lot of other people had the same idea!
They hold the Vide Grenier on the outskirts of Pennautier, down a lovely tree lined street. As you can see, it really is such a nice place to hold a market. There was a buzz in the air as people found great bargains and people bartered with stall owners trying to find the best price.
We weren't searching for anything in particular but we saw a lovely set of 6 wine glasses for 3 euros. We could certainly get tipsy after a drink or 2 out of them as they hold a lot more wine than other wine glasses we own!
I will miss the Vide Greniers in the Languedoc when we move to the Charente region in 3 weeks but they certainly have as many, if not more, in the villages and towns there. That's what I love about France, lazy Sundays which start with a fresh Pain au Chocolat from the Boulangerie across the road, then a stroll around a Vide Grenier and home for a delicious lunch on our shady terrace, watching the world go by.
Here are some photos of the Vide Grenier and the lovely surrounding countryside:
