our september brocante and lifestyle tour

by Sharon Santoni

 

We’re only half way through the summer but September is approaching fast, and here at My French Country Home, the month of September rhymes with our Brocante and Lifestyle Tour.

We still have a couple of places left on the tour, which this year takes place from 25 to 30 September.    It will be five nights and six days of French living bliss:  a mix of antique shopping, good food, beautiful surroundings, great company, and added in to the mix some nice wine, good conversation, a floral class, a cooking class and a general getting-off-the-beaten-track that has become our speciality on the MFCH tours.

The tour kicks off with coffee at my house, and then we spend two days and three nights in Normandy, where I have some new addresses and  very special spots to share with my guests.  On the third day we head into Paris by way of Versailles, and we spend a whole day at the fantastic antique fair at Chatou.

In Paris you are free to stay at your preferred hotel, although we are happy to recommend our favourites of course, and we collect you each morning after breakfast and return you to your hotel at the end of the day, so you can enjoy a couple of evenings in Paris too.

Wherever we go, we are driven in comfortable vehicles, by our chauffeurs  who are legendary for their charm and good humour.  We take care of our guests from morning to evening, and the days run seamlessly, as we visit, take photos, enjoy great meals and shop to our hearts content.

We also help guests get their shopping home, be it organising the shipping of that perfect French armoire, or simply providing protection for packing some precious china into a suitcase, our aim is to make everything easy and enjoyable.

If you would like to join us, just click here to send us an email, or leave your name and address in the comment box below.  There are still four places left, but once they are gone we will be sold out, as we take a limited number of clients on each tour.

just curious.. Do you need to be a buyer of a business? do you need to travel with another? Could I ever afford this trip.. It always sounds so wonderful.
Thanx!

I went last year by myself on this tour and had a wonderful time. The others in the group were very kind and Sharon had it planned so that there was much to see and do, yet there was time to relax. I am not an antique dealer, nor do I speak French but I had NO problems with communications. If you are sitting on the fence, like I did for a few years, sign up NOW! It was the trip of a lifetime that included not only antique shopping but a true taste of the luxurious side of French life.

Oh, Sharon……what a lovely (And practical-minded…particularly the packaging/shipping business) description. I just forwarded your posting to three male, latter middle-aged (As I am, myself) sorta-friends/clients of mine (they all have plenty of money, to be frank, but not a CLUE regarding what to give their wives for a significant birthday or this upcoming Christmas). All have previously contacted me regarding a commissioned portrait of the wife. In each case, I’ve had to tell them that, in my experience, women enjoy portraits of their children and/or pets OR the entire family…..but they don’t enjoy getting “surprise” portraits of themselves. I told each of these boys that he should give his wife one of your tours…….can’t think of something more lovely and adventurous. I made it clear that you’re a great communicator (you are, as I have reason to know), and I gave them your private email address. Hope you don’t mind…..and best wishes to you and your ventures. I’ve loved watching them develop over the past ten or so years. sincerely,

Hi Sharon,

Would be extremely interested in a trip in 2019, if you have one planned. Need info on date, price, also shipping info (if I happen to find bulky/heavy piece item). and itinerary. I’m a huge Francophile and flew weekly to Paris as a Pursor flight attendant with a major airline. Having recently retired, I still visit my favorite City of Light and find your itinerary to be exciting and fun filled with shopping the brocante markets and enjoying the French wine and cuisine. A huge thanks in advance and look forward to hearing from you.
