All that stuff looked fairly clean. So I want to know, who dusts all that?

Good heavens, how do they make a business of all this stuff. Does Bravo buy it, at a huge discount of course, in order to resell. Must be overwhelming to go there.

Ah, so Romain is Prince of peas!

This place reminds me of Zaborski emporium in Kingston, NY! I bet ya they don't have used toilet collection.

OMG!!! I am (barely) controlling myself at this point. I want to type in all caps, I want to show everyone this post but mostly I just want to get on the first flight to Paris and visit this treasure. David, merci beaucoup for sharing!!!! Can’t wait to read part two to see how the story ends for Romain and the chair😉

Oh, my. What a treasure cave. I could spend days in there. I love the picture of Romain from the back just gazing into the wall of stuff. That's a great photo. Thanks for sharing this.

That's hilarious ... I mean the ending with Romain's chair choice and his delicate underside. And yes, the Bravo Brocante is my idea of fun too. I was lusting after some of the cake rings...

Hi David, I like the chairs, Romain likes the chairs and you can always use extra seating. You always remember the ones you did not buy!

What a fun resource. Thank you for sharing. Are the chairs on their way to a patissier via a tapissier?

I really like those chairs! The metal is an added bonus. Rehabbing the legs, material and foam are easy. These chairs have good bones. If they are comfortable and reasonable, I would take them.

A cliffhanger AND a tour of a brocante which is my idea of a place to spend a fun afternoon. Walking around looking at everything, imagining what I could do with what is discovered.
