067 We’re back in California and we can’t wait to head back to our little stone vacation house. In this weeks video, we’re sharing a trip to the Emmaus 87 in downtown Limoges. We visited this favorite a few weeks ago. The Emmaus 87 is a great place to find really great porcelain pieces.
Thanks again for watching,
Michael and April

Description of Us:
We are a couple of American Francophiles who have come to truly appreciate so many things about French culture. We love the food, wine, art, and history of France, but especially the people we have met along the way. Join us as we make our dream of living in France a reality. Follow us as we explore the French living and a new life there with our beloved dog, Bernice. We enjoy learning about stone house renovation, wine, cooking, brocante shopping, and the French community we are now a part of.

Hello! I’m curious if you are concerned about lead in these old items. I live in Montpellier and really want to shop at Emmaus but I am hesitant. Any advice is appreciated!
Si vous aimez la porcelaine vous devriez visiter la manufacture de Sèvres qui se situe juste à l’entrée de Paris.
Hello, I think you missed the assorted tureen with the lion heads that was on the same shelf. Wonderful Aladin's cave.
Nice choice of items.
The blue and white 4 piece set was most likely €15 because the French write the one looking similar to a 7
April, you are quite the savvy buyer. Love the plate showing some of the cheeses. I also have 8 of those lion head bowls. Anyone who considers themselves to be a Francophile must have them. I even use them for my morning oatmeal. Even have 8 ramekin plates very versatile for roasting/baking/ heating things up. I also use them as salad plates or serving plates for appetizers.
You are such a warm couple. Any chance you would consider sharing how you do it?
Thank you…Joseph.
Generally you can negotiate prices at Emmaüs. I just got 12 Limoges dinner plates and 12 assiettes creuses for 10 euros 😊
Hi, the "scottish thing" is a ice axe, more of a souvenir one, than a genuine one for climbing in the icy mountains.
Love the cheese plate! Always need some kitch to make you smile! 😀
