FRENCH ANTIQUE TOURS 2022

Have you ever been overseas and found some special treasure that you would love to take home but you just cant fit it in your suitcase?
We have the perfect solution for you!
We are offering a unique experience, seven days of treasure hunting while staying at our house in the South West of France. We will send your items back to NZ in our container.
Our house is a 3 storey town house, close to the river Lot and all amenities.
You will be taken to Antique Markets and Brocantes, to fossick and purchase your own items.
Our tours are Boutique, which means we only take 4/5 people on the tour at a time. My husband Nic and I will be there to help you find and bargain for the items you desire! We will see plenty of the countryside and visit some beautiful towns in the area. Also we can take you to visit a castle ruin or visit a chateau for wine tasting. All-inclusive.

Our home is a very relaxed environment where people are treated like family. We all help with the setting of tables, lighting of candles, slicing of bread and enjoying a good meal and a glass or two of fine French wine together. We are happy for you to accompany us to the local market to see the array of products, choose a special treat, walk to the boulangerie and ask for a Baguette in French! You can even cook a meal if you desire!
There will also be time for relaxing and time to check out the local boutique shopping centre which is 3 minutes walking. We want you to experience the French way of life and how it is to live in a provincial town with French culture and customs. Mostly we want you to have a great time!
A certain amount of fitness is required as there is a lot of walking and all bedrooms are up several flights of stairs.
We provide packing materials for you to pack your own treasures.
The furniture and smalls are very affordable where we go.
You get to have memories as well as taking home beautiful items. We have limited the amount of furniture and smalls to be purchased to, 3cbm but smaller items can be packed into larger items to help with space and the cost of freight.
#Please note that freight and associated costs, ( gst and duty etc) are not included in the tour costs. We estimate approx. $750 per metre to our storage unit in Penrose, but as the freight is fluctuating so much these days we will get a better idea closer to the time of departure. It is the buyers responsibility to pick up from the depot in NZ or organise freight to their designated houses.
