brocante tours for 2013

by Sharon Santoni
Thank you to those of you who have been waiting patiently for details!  I am happy to say that dates are secured for two brocante tours this year.  The first tour will be end April, and the second early September.
  I shall be offering the same style of tour as in 2012, it worked so well and everyone was so happy.  
So there will be:
 visits to fairs and to local dealers,
 bargains to be found, 
great food, 
accommodation in an 18th century château,
 and of course the beautiful Normandy countryside to enjoy.

The new feature for this years tours will be a demonstration and lesson in true French cuisine, I am so excited about this.  I know that all my guests appreciate the finesse of the meals here, so to see exactly how its done will be a great interlude to all the shopping!

I’ll be writing to everyone who already asked about the tours,  but if you would like to receive information about prices just get in touch and the details will be sent straight away.

Bonjour Sharon~
I love waking before dawn and reading your daily post over morning tea. It has been a dream for almost half a decade
to spend a month in France and look for possible properties to purchase. After having vacationed in France for the last 4 years, our extended stays have become longer and longer with each visit, and one visit per year doesn't quite fulfill me anymore. I will be arriving in Nice, solo, and driving to Lyon, staying with friends in Chateauneuf for 4 days, taking a cooking class in Beaune and then 2 weeks free to travel as my heart desires. Can you share your email with me as I'd like to get your thoughts and perspective on where to go and what to see/participate in, painting classes, real estate agents, etc..
all the best~

Hi Sharon,
I just had a delightful talk with Jennifer Owens at Le Potager in Fullerton, California. My husband and I were just in Coutances and fell in love with Normandy!

Do you have a recommendation for a good realtor? We are interested on purchasing a stone farmhouse.

Thanks, Sharon! I love your site! It makes me want to grab a plane and come back.
