Alors, je suis en France! First week here in the beautiful Lot Valley—c'est magnifique! Found two brocantes yesterday and here's what I got:
Two 45 RPM records with great 50's artwork — 1 euro for both
Cigarillo tin from Holland — 1 euro
Four " Lisez-Moi Aventures" magazines from 1948, 1949 (one of these is for you Lucie!) — 1 euro for all four
Various French stamps, some with town stamps on the envelope — 5 for 1 euro
(I'll be going back for more of these; there was a huge box of them. A little pricey but worth it I think.)
Book from 1936, "Quand J'Etais Montmartois" with some great illustrations on the first few pages and end papers — 1 euro
TOTAL — 5 euro ($6.65)
