Vide-greniers in the Pyrénées-Orientales - 2010
The arrival of the good weather sends many people into a frenzy of spring-cleaning - throw out the old and bring in the new! In the Pyrénées-Orientales, it brings out the vide-greniers, the nearest equivalent to the car boot sale. Great atmosphere, hotdogs, snails and beer (only joking about the hotdogs!) and a chance to get rid of those unwanted bits and pieces. Remember: one man/woman’s trash is another man’s treasure. If you’re a car boot sale fan, or have items you wish to get rid of, it’s well worth checking out the vide-greniers around the region, which take place mainly on Sundays. Get there early if you want to get the bargains and avoid the rush!
Please contact me if you know of a vide grenier in your area which is not posted here.|]
ALL DATES ARE SENT TO ME BY TOURIST OFFICES OR MAIRIES IN ADVANCE. THEY ARE TOTALLY DEPENDANT ON WEATHER AND OTHER VARIABLES SO IT IS ALWAYS ADVISABLE TO CONFIRM WITH THE MAIRIE A FEW DAYS BEFORE, PARTICULARLY IF YOU ARE TRAVELLING QUITE FAR TO VISIT A VG.
