We took a little road trip to head to a vide-grenier (“clean your attic”) sale in a small town near us. It wasn’t such a bonanza for me (although I did find a vintage yellow Raymond Loewy @lecreuset casserole😅) but someone told us about another vide-grenier that wasn’t listed anywhere (usually there are signs posted on roadsides a few weeks before…) so we took a drive there, where there *still* weren’t any signs🤷🏻 (just a bunch of cars parked on the side of the road) and found a whole bunch of stands by people who’d set up tables, selling things. [Generally a vide-grenier is for neighborhood people to sell, not professionals.) I found some lovely small café au lait bowls (50¢-€1ea), a small earthenware cassole (cassoulet bowl) that’s perfect for small salads since I don’t know if I want to make cassoulet just for 3-4 people😄, a stack of 60s egg cups, a vintage Lanvin silk scarf (I don’t wear silk scarves but I loved the design and couldn’t leave it behind…and it was only €2😃). There was also an odd statue of a guy lounging who looked like he was ready for, um…something… 😂…which I didn’t buy. People were also selling plants, as well as homemade jams, fresh figs and Mirabelle plums (I got both.) On the way home we picked up a poulet fermier (farm chicken) from a roadside rotisserie and while we usually skip the potatoes, which are often industrial and come in cryo-vac bags (I generally roast my own) since the fellow selling chickens was closing, he gave us the extra-crispy potatoes left at the bottom 😋😋which we had for lunch - and made me wish ALL potatoes served with roast chicken came with these - along with glasses of icy rosé and locally made ice cream for dessert…ending with espresso served in cups I also bought at the flea market…three for €2! ☺️😊 #videgrenier #brocante #languedoc #frqnce #lecreuset #roastchicken #pouletroti #plums #raymondloewy #lanvin #figs #mirabelles #antiques #icecream #espresso
