A braderie is a common phenomenon in France where people sell vintage items and antiques on the streets in market stalls. La Giraudi\u00e9re hosted a live braderie from the fourteenth to the sixteenth of July. Beside this, the interns created a commercial website for the braderie so people can keep buying our items online.

During the braderie, I helped the interns wherever I could. We set up a bar so people could buy coffee and refreshments. The braderie provided me with a great opportunity to practise my French and meet the local population!
