Discovering a Route des Brocantes

Following a lead pays off in a big way

Once you leave a city or large organized event and head into the countryside in search of antiques, you’re pretty much on your own. We’ve spent hours in the car chasing leads only to find a brocante is closed for the season, has gone out of business or … my personal favorite … has mistakenly listed their home as the store address.

Are you looking for an alternative to the Paris flea markets but don’t know where to start? Discover this largely unadvertised, dealers-only antique route between Chartres and Le Mans where dozens of brocanteurs are selling their wares.
