La Brocante

It's the 94th Foire de Chatou, and, as usual, I go along - not so much to buy anything, but to browse and grab some photos. I went on Sunday with my husband, and we did our usual thing of having oysters and champagne for lunch (yes, only in France ...) and I went back yesterday afternoon when it was quieter. It was very quiet. Just as I was leaving I looked back and saw this stall-holder having a rest on one of the seats he was selling, alongside some nice artwork. It's one of my favourite events where we live - I'm lucky they do it twice a year. Next one - September.

Such and interesting street scene

[Milanie]

Bet it's fascinating - both what they're selling and watching the people - can't beat a winner like that.

Wonderful street shot, Issi! I think I would thoroughly enjoy this event! :-)

Would definitely be a great place to browse around!

Sounds an interesting place to wonder round, especially for a photo shoot.

The largest of the paintings really catches my eye. Bet the chair is a comfortable one.
