Antique Tours

 After a decade of living in France and exploring its wonderful markets, brocantes and fairs, we’re delighted to offer antiques buying tours.

Over the years, we’ve mapped out the very best spots in Paris, Provence and Normandy, discovering hidden universes tucked behind stone walls, forging friendships with dealers and artisans who welcome us into their worlds.

We are thrilled to be able to share that with you, whether you’re a professional, an amateur, or simply curious to discover the beauty of French art and antiques. If you’re here, our guess is that you’re seeking inspiration or new perspectives…and our tours are designed to bring you just that.
