Since arriving at mum and dad's, we have heard so much about the weekends of bric-a-brac. Dad has been a big fan of spending his weekends driving to the smallest French towns, only to arrive to find fields full of people from France and England, offering the greatest of treasures to some, well, bits of rubbish they are trying to rid of.
Intrigued by the sound of it and wondering what hidden gems we could find, we set off for the town of Saint-Michel-de-Villadeix, about an hours drive from Montemboeuf. A gorgeous drive through countryside, which included a stop for lunch in Brantôme which was a really beautiful little town to stop in and enjoy a picnic in the park.
Arriving at the bric-a-brac was everything we hoped and a short while later we hit the road home with a couple of cute finds and the debate over whether the purchase of a second hand foot bath is acceptable. Bubble wrap will be needed to keep our purchases safe on the flight home!
A stop back in Brantôme couldn't be resisted for an afternoon tea of some crepes and a cup of tea. A lovely Sunday in the country.
