A visit to a brocante can be the highlight of your trip to France: a chance to immerse yourself in everyday French culture, an exciting way to spend a few laid back hours, and an opportunity to grab a bargain or pick up a prized souvenir to add to your collection. Each year more than 15,000 flea markets and garage sales across France, gather crowds of fans and onlookers in search of a bargain, a rare item, a decorating idea or a souvenir. Here are some of the best flea markets in France that should not be missed.
