Brocantes

Brocantes are French flea markets and seem to be the French national pastime on weekends. Flea markets are peculiar places, you can see them as the edge of our consumer society. Many of the items sold there are too bad for the store and too good for the dump. Their visitors are a motley collection of people. Some act driven by their economic situation, the extra income is very important in their lives need, but you'll also find collectors or people who do not want to participate in principle to the consumer society.
