With you we plan each day and take you to all the best antique outlets. They are located in the country side and in the big towns like St. Malo, Rennes, St. Brieuc, Dinard and Dinan. We can also visit a couple of venues in Normandy. Travelling between antique dealers in Brittany allows for wonderful sight seeing

In France only objects of 100 years old or more, may be called Antiques. Brocante covers the items under 100 years.
A Depot Vent is a shop/warehouse where people can take their items for sale. The owner of the Depot Vent puts the items out for sale & charges the seller a percentage of any sales.
