There were more brocante and vide grenier stalls this year, but it didn't hold quite the same interest for us without the display of old cars which were there last year. There was the usual entertainment for the children and various animations including a demonstration of Zumba Fitness... (which we missed!!!)
Elizabeth had her eye on this gardening tool... but ended up with some sewing machine needles as a consolation!
and the most bazaar item we noticed for sale was this rather large doll!!! Scary or what?!!
The event was rounded off in the evening by a firework display which is in the field right opposite our house. We have the best view available!!!
Despite our vantage point the firework photos Elizabeth took are not worth publishing! It just goes to show.... location location, location ISN'T everything! Or perhaps it was just the wine....

Those cars were at the Fête des Metiers at La Celle Gueunand this year inc. a pale [moss] green Sprog-eye [drool-drool!]
Tim, would that be the same one we pictured in our blog on the 14th July at Scorbé Clairvaux?
Apparently there was a fabulous blue Delahaye there as well (report just in from our friend Valérie).
Susan, Which model?
Bit pricy though: http://www.carandclassic.co.uk/list/18/
This site also has a selection of Tractions the prices appear OK,
Don't know. Delahayes are for serious glamour collectors, so yes, a bit pricey. I'll pass the site on to Simon - at the moment nothing we could buy. If they are outside France they are no good to us, because they could only be imported on a carte grise collection, which means they can't be used commercially. Otherwise we would have put a bid in for Prince Ranier's familiale that was auctioned recently.
There was indeed a blue Delahaye at La Celle Guenand. Last seen receiving attention of mechanics alas.
