If you’re partial to rummaging around car boot sales searching for a bargain then you are in flea market heaven in the Dordogne Valley. There are many, and they come in different sizes, but they roughly divide into two types : Brocantes and Vide-Greniers.
Upmarket Brocantes feature antiques and antique furniture sold by professional dealers.
Car boot sales on the other hand tend to be held in villages where everyone tries to get rid of stuff that’s been lying around in the attic- hence the French name Vide-Grenier (Empty the Attic).
