Vide grenier literally means emptying the attic: a.k.a. garage sale. I went for a stroll in the city of Besançon upon my arrival and tumbled upon a vide grenier in the city center. There are much to buy if one is trying to embellish the maison and can stand having used things of unknown origin in the decor - otherwise it might not be to everyone's cup of tea, especially in taboo-rich asian homes. That having said, vide grenier and brocante are good places to sniff out interesting conversational pieces for the house...I for one ended up buying a breakfast service for 8 persons (Limoges porcelain) in beautiful scalloped designed for an amazing 20 euros!
The Place Victor Hugo in Besançon City Centre.
Instant heirloom furnitures for a steal...
Smaller ones from 10 - 15 euros...
