Antique Picking at the Grande Brocante de Chambord | A Wet & Wonderful French Adventure!
Join Polly and Jonnie on an unforgettable antique shopping adventure at the Grande Brocante de Chambord, famously known as the wettest brocante in France, hosted at the iconic Château de Chambord in the stunning Loire Valley. Our journey took us over 500 miles from England, through the French autoroutes, and finally into the picturesque valley of châteaux. As professional antique pickers with years of experience, we were determined to start buying early—and that decision paid off!
Despite torrential rain hitting around 9:30 AM, causing many sellers to cover their wares, we were lucky enough to uncover some amazing French antiques before the downpour. The quality of the sellers at this annual brocante is exceptional, and we even had a close encounter with Stephanie and Philip from Château Diaries.
If you’re passionate about French antiques, vintage finds, or just enjoy a good treasure hunt, this video takes you behind the scenes of one of France’s most unique and beautiful markets. Join us for a fun-filled adventure at the Grande Brocante de Chambord, and experience the thrill of antique shopping in one of the most iconic locations in France.

You need to speak more clear and enthusiastically…. it will make a big difference…. and also competing with the music is not a good idea… take the music out of it or mute it when you're talking…. it will make it so much better… just some advice that I hope will help. No reason why ypu cant have 10000 subscribers… just need to be more professional… good luck
My first video with you, WHY no wellies! I am a horse person and keep in boot. I hate getting wet feet! haha
No I didn't spot Stephanie and Philip. Can you supply a time mark please?
Be interesting to know about the objects your perusing and how to bargain etc. Good luck with the channel, oh and maybe some basic french phrases, thanks. Merci beaucoup
