One happy blogger here (if a little weary) , a lovely day spent at the Paris fair, so much yummy stuff to see and to buy and to drool over.
I’ll do a proper loot shoot over the weekend, but here is a selection of pictures from the stands that caught my eye today.
Interspersed with some pics of the vendors, I never tire of seeing them setting up their tables and chairs and settling down for a serious meal, oblivious to everyone walking past – love it!
The good news is that I return to the same fair in a few days time; so if you see anything you really really want, then let me know, and I’ll try to get it for you!!

Drool. I just want to be there. Love that pile of fabric.
Beautiful pics…I am there in my dreams (and perhaps in person at some point in the not too distant future 🙂

From your photos, you would need a truck to accommodate everything I would want you to buy for me from the fair, starting with the dresser with the wooden bowls on it (n the second photo). The beautiful fabrics from your loot would have to be included too. It’s a pity that my house is on the other side of France. Bisous and good hunting.
Oh my! The sights take me right back! The ironstone tureens are beautiful and that clock… Fabulous!!!! Looking forward to your loot shoot. xo
Where exactly is this fair? I live in Maryland but might get to France sometime in the future. Loved all those fair pictures. Thanks, Ann
That is one fabulous Brocante! Love that closk it would match one I already have~K.Marie
Oh yes, that fabric planter, white french chairs, white ironstone, love those fabric you picked up. Enjoy yourself, Di
Love the clock! You know I have a partiality, and those lovely red ticking and vintage cloth rolls, and that 'undressed' chair! Yummy! Jen x
Beautiful items Sharon. Looks like you had so much fun.
Oh, you must be at Chatou. Such a fun market, Sharon. I'm envious. Have a fabulous time shopping.
Looks like Chatou to me! Enjoy!
I almost want to have it all 🙂

I really like the kitchen type chairs with a curved wooden back round a table with the white fabric with blue stripe down the middle. I love that shape.
I don't know where to begin, it's all lovely & it looks like you had a grand time! I'm so envious! Have a wonderful weekend!
Oh my. It looks like a movie set – can all this beauty be real?
Such beautiful items, looks like a wonderful time was spent!! V
Would love a piece of white ironstone
Love the dishes, linens, and……..ahhhhhh suek
Oh, I could spend hours there looking and wishing.
Love these pictures. This takes me back to when I lived in Germany as a military brat in the 1960's and 1970's. My parents went to the French flea markets and collected antiques, mostly clocks. My mother had a passion for little tables where she would display her collectibles.
Hi, I found your blog while searching for brocante and I just love your photos and the atmosphere in your writing! / Linda from Sweden
Would love to visit those markets in Paris one day!
wonderful impressions and great antiquity things.
Such days are always exhausting but also beautiful, especially … if you find something wonderful thing one can with home;)
Thanks for the great impressions.
Dearest greetings, Moni
I love the huge angel and the large crucifix without a cross. Any guess how much they are?
Oh my goodness, I wouldn't know where to look first! So many fabulous treasures. Thanks for sharing so that we can enjoy it vicariously 🙂
Oh the clock and the wooden candlestick holders…. ooooohhhh. thank you so much for sharing these pix. I feel like I get to go to France when I can't go.
Oh, I'm giddy just looking at the pics. I want almost everything in them!
This is just how I remembered it. Thank you for the grand pictures and the memories they bring back. Would love to be there walking the streets now.
What a lot of great stuff. Love the blue and white china, and the red and cream fabric and all the chairs!
wish I was there!!!!next year for sure….
just lovely and what a inspiring place to visit
There are so many beautiful things I would love to have, but that little two tiered table in the last photo….oh my…I really think my heart skipped a beat. I know it sounds melodramatic but so be it. What is it called? Style? I don't know enough to know what to ask. I just know I love it. If anyone can share their knowledge, I would be grateful. Thank you for the incredible photos and the little visit to the market in my mind.
