FRENCH ANTIQUE/BROCANTE TOURS 2025
Have you ever been overseas and found some special treasure that you would love to take home but you just can't fit in your suitcase?
We have the perfect solution for you!
We are offering a unique experience, 5 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 townhouse, 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.
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!
There will also be time for relaxing and time to check out the local boutique shopping centre which is a 3 minute walk. 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 getting to take home beautiful items. We have limited the maximum amount of small furniture and smalls to be purchased to 2cbm per person but smaller items can be packed into larger items to help with space and the cost of freight. #Furniture is limited to smaller light items i.e bedside cabinets, chairs, small/med cabinets etc. Large wardrobes and sideboards and heavy furniture are too hard for us to handle.
#Please note that freight and associated costs, ( gst and duty, storage, fumigation etc etc) are not included in the tour costs. We estimate approx. $700-800 per cubic metre ( which is quite a lot of items). 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.
