pShopping in French fleamarkets is a particular pleasure. Some cities specialize in gathering dealers together at fixed dates. Strasbourg has four embrocantes/em or fleamarkets a year and the next two in February and April (7th and 8th) give you the chance to seek out all sorts of old items, some valuable, some possibly less so except in terms of the pleasure that an old set of cutlery, grape scissors or a vintage frock might give you ./p...pa href=http://clk.about.com/?zi=1/1hc#038;zu=http://gofrance.about.com/b/2012/01/29/strasbourgs-february-fleamarket.htmRead Full Post/a/p
