The 'Broc-Troc'


Each year the Rotary Club of Menton organises a giant flea market (known as the Broc-Troc) at the Palais de l'Europe. By the end of the weekend, 5000 visitors had browsed and bought from the 130 stands.

    Malyss, isn't that incredibly! Maybe I have more shots of you and don't know it?! Write and tell me which is you as I won't have the photos with me on Saturday (write privately if you prefer).

    That fuzzy effective through the glass windows always pleases. A nicely chosen image for the posting, J.

    The first photo is stunning with the wavy reflections and distorted view through the glass.

    Bises,

    Another great photo, Jilly. I have only been there for the orchid show during the lemon festival and, I am ashamed to say, I never noticed the beautiful windows. Leave it to You!

    Something tells me this is NOT like any other French brocante I've visited. Did you buy anything ? :)

    What a magnificent photo the first one is,, dreamy watercolor quality.

    This series of the 'grande brocante' I have a feeling is going to be fantastic with an opening photo as you presented here.
