Vide Grenier 12 October 2008

Went to our first vide grenier (which translates to "empty the attic") on the weekend. It was in the little village of St Eulalie. Everybody brings out all their old stuff to try and sell it, similar to a garage sale except the whole town gets involved. I found it fascinating looking at some of the things people had to sell. It's an insight into their private lives in a way.

We scored an all-in-one ski suit for Ella, looked brand new and we paid 8 euros for it. I was very happy. Ski clothes cost a fortune. Samuel scored 20 Pokemon cards for 1 euro and we bought Ella a Bratz doll for 2 euros. So it was a good day.
