I’m fin­ish­ing up the plans for my Jan­u­ary buy­ing trip to Europe! I will be fly­ing from Atlanta Mar­ket directly to France and Bel­gium for antiquing and then to NYC for mar­ket! I’m look­ing for­ward to a very excit­ing (and stress­ful!) month!!!!

{Tak­ing pics of my pur­chases in L’isle-Sur-La-Sorgue on my last France buy­ing trip}

I might stop by L’isle-Sur-La-Sorgue — the des­ti­na­tion for Inter­na­tional antique deal­ers and col­lec­tors, even though the big antique fair isn’t until April (2nd largest in France).  I love the quaint town and vari­ety of antique shops.

From Provence I will drive to Paris with as lit­tle lug­gage and as many pur­chases as possible.

The trip isn’t all about buy­ing — you also have to sight­see along the French Riviera!

I’m sure I will spend a week­end at the famous Marché aux Puces St-Ouen de Clig­nan­court in Paris {aka THE Paris Flea Mar­ket} with Marche Paul Bert being my favorite!

First stop: Le Monde du Voy­age to visit my favorite dealer Roger. He has the best vin­tage Louis Vuit­ton, Goyard, and Her­mes {yes, you are look­ing at some Birkins and Kellys below!}

I haven’t been to Bel­gium before, so I’m not sure what to expect, but I heard it was the best place to buy antiques now. Does any­one have any sug­ges­tions of where to go/ find the best markets/dealers/antiques!?!??

OR

Does any­one want to come along and help? :)
