If you are in Nice this summer, my recommendations for finding brocante are each afternoon in the Puces de Nice, a sort of tiny flea market on the Port, and every Monday morning on the Cours Saleya - worth while getting there early!
Luckily Ghetto was around, helping me choose ....
And what did I choose as the gift? .... these beautiful barbotine plates, 100 years old, made by Sarreguemines.
Thank you for reading me, tomorrow I'll be home and back in the swing of things!
