The Flea Markets Of France by Sandy Price

The Flea Markets Of France by Sandy Price

A visit to a flea market can be the highlight of a trip to France: a lively encounter with everyday French culture, an exciting way to spend a few hours, and a chance to pick up a unique souvenir or add to a collection. The Flea Markets of France is the indispensable tool for getting the most out of your visit, whether you're a first-time visitor or an experienced shopper. Conversational and comprehensive, this guide will tell you everything you need to know about exploring markets all over France. Descriptions of more than thirty markets and their specialties, as well as practical advice on visiting them, is augmented by notes on regional items, tips on bargaining and collecting, a glossary of relevant French phrases, and a useful rating system which gives an overview of each market.

Much more than a simple listing of French flea markets, Sandy Price's warm suggestions of things to do nearby, places to eat, food specialties of the area, and local amenities are complemented by bits of history and cultural observations. Armed with this comprehensive guide, visitors to France will feel they are in good, reliable hands.

Sandy Price is passionate about not only the treasures found at markets, but also the entire market experience, which she seeks to capture and make accessible to readers. Exploring the Flea Markets of France (released by Three Rivers Press, a branch of Random House) and The Flea Markets of France (published by the Little Bookroom) are two books she wrote about French flea markets, published in 1999 and 2009. Sandy developed a deep interest in English collectibles and the extremely impressive--and often much more substantial--markets here during several travels to England over the years. This winter and early spring, she will be based in London, where she will be researching and traveling for this book. Her last book, The Flea Markets of France, was featured in a number of journals and newspapers in North America, the United Kingdom, and the rest of Europe. The Guardian, Living France, Maison Chic, Nylon, Intermezzo, Ralph Lauren Magazine, and National Geographic Traveler are among them.
