This was the eighteenth annual sale for this commune.
The Center of the village was roped off and the many local habitants and several other dealers had set up their stalls (90 in all).
We wandered through the village and spotted several items that would be wonderful to have back in Canada...however, the size and shipping of these items discourages these purchases.
Monsieur Honey's deal of the day was a silver handled cheese knife...see last photo in post.
I had my heart set longingly upon a hand painted Limoges enamelled portrait of a young boy, (it was very beautiful) a large copper cauldron and an old watering can!
We may see the Limoges portrait again at another sale because the seller was a dealer.
After our fill of the "Brocante", we strolled through the village before heading home via a different route where we discovered some lovely villages and an old wooden windmill.
Do you see the cat?
The copper cauldron....
Anyone know what this is?
The Limoges portrait of the boy on the right hand side.
"Monsieur Honey" ferreting through the bits.
Man in the mirror....
Non, non...Monsieur Honey that is not my dream house!
Lovely street view in Labastide Marnhac.
A wooden windmill (circa 1699) that was dismantled and reconstructed in the early 1800s in the commune of Saint-Alauzie.
Is this roadside mowing or rush hour in the French countryside?
The plane trees in Cahors just starting to be dressed by the unfurling leaves.
The deal of the day...Brie anyone?
