Voilą, you all know where I live.

Feel free w/your answers.


1/ I would like to know, if you go to flea markets in my country, what do you expect to find ?

2/ Do you find the prices too expensive ?

3/ Do you go only in Paris ( puces de Saint Ouen, puces de Vanves, etc... )or in the south at L'Ile sur la Sorgue or Lyon, etc ?

4/ Or do you prefer to go in small & middle towns ?

5/ Or in villages ?

6/ How do find French people ?
( education, manners, how they speak English,knowledge etc ... )

( What do you like and dislike about French people, or the country itself. )

If you have questions or other remarks feel free to ask or speak your mind ! :)

Thank you everyone for the time you've taken to answer. :)

[> [> interesting questions - not sure what you're trying to figure out but here goes what little I can answer: Like a flea market anywhere , I never know what to expect. I've bought dolls lamp, kitchen canisters. A friend of mine bought miniature perfume bottles. I wished I could bring back some wonderful furniture. I've never been to a flea market in Paris so I haven nothing to comapre but many years ago I went to bracants(?) in suburban paris - more inside. -- chris k, 22:30:02 03/29/13 Fri [1]

I love the french people, but I speak french and think that helps.

again it's been years since I'v been to france but I didn't find that many people spoke conversable english. Lots of people knew a little, but not that many enough to carry on a conversation.

as for prices - france is like New York City- expensive. It's been that way since my first trip in college thirty years ago.

that's about as much as I can help-

good luck!
