After the summer holidays,

the autumn comes alive with

new initiatives and events like

the inimitable

Foire de Chatou.

The ultimate flea market,

the fair is full of inspiration

for interior decorators,

collectors and browsers

from around the world,

all of whom are sure to make

fascinating finds.

Today, the things that

really count are authenticity

and the return to roots.

That's exactly what you will find

at the Foire de Chatou.

3

The 95th edition of the Foire de Chatou pays

tribute to the art of entertaining. The spotlight

will be on the arts of the table at the next Foire

de Chatou, with ideas for everything from refined light

meals to formal dinners in an elegant, convivial spirit.

Whether the atmosphere is bohemian or rustic,

bistronomic or classic, the fair offers everything from

beautiful silver to mismatched plates that are works

of art in themselves.

Gastronomy and flea markets have many things in

common: more and more restaurants are using

vintage furnishings and objects in their decoration,

and antique dealers are becoming stylists themselves

and renting out tableware and decorative elements

for receptions. Food bloggers show off their world of

antiques and gourmet dishes, and second-hand

dealers are all well-known Epicureans!

The important thing is to practice the art of living well.

The Foire de Chatou, an ephemeral village of

antiquarians, has been taking place on the Island of

the Impressionists since 1970. Organized by the

SNCAO-GA, it is the largest flea market and antiques

fair in France. Now a veritable institution, it presents

500 dealers from all over France and attracts 35,000

visitors over a period of 12 days.

With1,200 members the SNCAO-GA is the mostimportant representative body for the antiquestrade in France.

Picturesque and not to be missed, theFoire de Chatou has set up its stalls onthe Impressionists’ Island at Chatou

since 1970; but its origins date back to themediaeval Foire aux Salaisons, the Salt MeatsFair, a great Gallic tradition.

In 1840, the fair took up fixed residence on theBoulevard Bourdon, near the Place de la Bastillein Paris. At the same time, the city's scrap dealersand junk merchants started their own fair nextdoor, linking together the future of the two fairs.In 1869, they were both moved to the BoulevardRichard Lenoir, where they remained for nearly acentury, initially taking place once a year, and from1940 onwards twice yearly. The fair was thenknown as the Foire à la Ferraille, aux Pains

d’Épices et aux Jambons (scrap metal,gingerbread and ham fair). Stallholders wouldbake little gingerbread pigs decorated with theirfavourite Christian names, a custom reflected inthe Foire de Chatou’s pig logo. In 1970, thePrefect of Paris, the capital's highest administrator,ordered the fair out of the city. But rather than seeit die, the SNCAO-GA stepped in with a rescueplan, installing it on Chatou's Impressionists'Island. The September 2017 fair will be the 95th onits present site.

Beautiful silver is back in style – whetherthe look is bohemian, rustic, bistronomicor classical – on tables stripped of theirtablecloths and set with mismatchedplates that are works of art in themselves.Authenticity is the keyword for the diningtable today. Natural materials andaccessories straight out of old-fashionedhardware stores adorn dinner tables forboth chic and rustic meals.

Juxtaposed stylesagainst a bright-redbackdrop

Everything is possible when differenteras are juxtaposed. Eric Gaucher andhis brother, who are from a family ofantique dealers, love to draw attentionto the beauty of antique Frenchfurniture by creating daring mise enscènes. Nothing sets off a Louis XIVchest of drawers topped by a paintingby Gen Paul like an architect-designedhouse with white walls andstreamlined furniture.

Colourful

industrial furniture

The industrial style continues to be interpreted ina variety of ways, whether it's just a touch or thewhole decor, often mixing wood and steel or adaring touch of yellow or red. Check it out on thestands of O'range Metallic and Yannick Tendron.

A daring

touch of metal

A single piece like the Surpil armchair offered byEric Renaud (La Fabrique) can immediatelytransform a room's decor. Dating from the 1930s,these chairs were specially made for the Casino deSaint Honoré les Bains in the Nièvre department ofFrance, and have "casino" marked on the seat, asouvenir of a glorious era!).

In love

A gouache-covered screen to be foundat France Lasserre's booth is just thething to add a poetic touch to a diningroom, creating an atmospherereminiscent of an old-style familyhome. The latest decorative looks optfor antique dishes, furniture and kilims,and patinated, waxy hues.

Two for tea

At Comptoir Yamaska Nord, Véronique Garcia-Chevillotte, assisted by her daughters Charlotteand Naiara, has a poetic way of mixing styles anderas. She restores everything from old doors andgarden columns to 18th-century armchairs, and alsooffers some tableware. One example is a beautiful18th-century Limoges-porcelain tea service with gold decorations and monograms. Suitablefor all occasions!

Colourful antique glassware

At Epoquités, Guy Diffon and Giuseppe Mancinioffer a wide range of major-brand glassware, carafesand silverware. While these two experts find thattimeless Baccarat and Saint Louis services stillappeal to visitors, new trends are emerging.Enamelled vases have been popular in recent years,and now colourful table glasses are all the rage.

Nomadic spirit

Carole Cigliutti appreciates suchcuriosities as flasks from Lourdesdating from the 1920s or a collectionof coloured plastic lemon presses. Onher stand, this regular exhibitor alsopresents fine 19th-century fabrics,among them silk ribbons, weddinghandkerchiefs and French lace, whichare highly popular with Japanesecustomers, many of whom makespecial trips to the fair for them.

Chic picnic

Nathalie Doublet is always looking for originalantique objects dating from 1870 to 1920 and has a special passion for finding such items asvintage lotteries, picnic baskets, and snakes and ladders games, all highly appreciated by her British customers.

Objects of the past for the present

Samuel Collin and his wife Catherine are ferventdefenders of folk art: symbolically chargedeveryday objects made with an artistic touch byuntrained craftspeople. Examples are a Bretonspoon adorned with a heart for a fiancée, mouldedegg cups for a whole family and a friendship flaskengraved for a loved one.

Blue in all its shades

The Foire de Chatou is a great place to find antiquesilverware, porcelain, ceramics and glassware. A stop atthe stand of Alain Bénédick, a great specialist in thefaience of Sarreguemines and author of several bookson the subject, is a must, as is a visit to Sylvie Oget,Pierre Vanessche and Mary Cook for silver objects,and, for tableware, Bûcher des Vanités, Blanc et Bleu,Brigitte Ruelle, Christiane Cahuzac, EmmanuelHilbert, Stéphane Chancereul and Alain Piquet. You'llalso love the antique faience sold by Monique Drouinand the antique cutlery of Bernard Manuel. Generalistdealers also have some fantastic finds, like the beautifulcoffee service by André Stocker (photo above left) onthe stand of Blandine Mandin.

A major comeback for Art Nouveau

At Antiquités La Crouée, Anthony Scisco showsearly-20th-century and Art Nouveau sculpture,painting, furniture and glass. Based in Lorraine fornearly 40 years, this dealer loves showing off thebeauty of École de Nancy furniture, with suchobjects as tea tables by Louis Majorelle and ÉmileGallé, and refined ceramics by Longwy.

In search of Proust's madeleine

Old-fashioned niceties are also making a comeback.At Angela Urso, antique textiles and vintageclothing can be found alongside children's toys ina chic, romantic atmosphere. You might think youare in an episode of "Little House on the Prairie"among the umbrellas, fans, headdresses, dresses,shoes and fabrics for women and children datingfrom 1800 to 1950, along with trinkets, religiousobjects and other curiosities.

Mismatched spirit

Uniformity has its limits. Today, tables, chairs anddishware come in all colours and styles. Tablesettings can be playfully improvised by mixing thecolours and patterns of plates, tablecloths andnapkins. You'll find plenty of ideas on AudreyLemoine's stand.

Antiques for a new generation

Florence de Boissieu has a special talent for reinterpreting the country spirit for moderntimes. She has even developed a new concept:renting antique furniture and objects for receptionsand weddings. Her youthful (25-45) clientele loves having the chance to encounter objects from the past.

Monastic-chic

Alicia de Rolland is fascinated by the way thingsare worn and used. She loves simple, poetic,functional furniture and objects. Big candles andcontemporary ceramics contribute to a "monastic-chic" atmosphere that is anything but Spartan.

20th - century design

The Galerie de Montille, which has been inbusiness for 38 years, is returning to Chatou afteran absence of several years with designerfurniture and decorative objects, mainly from the20th century. You will find an excellent selectionof lighting by the likes of Paolo Venini, Baguèsand Mazzenga.

Linen of manycolours

A good choice of table linens adds warmthand life to a dining table. Many exhibitorsdeal in antique linens, but each has his orher own speciality. Make sure you pay a visit to the stands of Terres d’autrefois,Christine Blanc, Marie Cizeron, Nathalie Mathis, Audrey Lemoine,Monique Davidoff, Daniel Guermeur, andFabienne Lesage...

Family stories

When they discovered that their threedaughters were not interested in inheritingtheir parents' white linen, Daniel Guermeurand his wife had the idea of dying theantique linens, and it has now become theirspecialty. They make the dyes with carefullyadjusted doses of artificial and naturalpowders from France and India, mixed intheir workshop in Mouy in the Oise.

Nathalie Mathis‘s passion for antique linensand clothing comes from her mother, withwhom she has been scouring flea marketsand fairs since 2000. Mother and daughterknow all there is to know about refinedhousehold linens (towels, sheets, tableclothsand curtains), hand-embroidered clothing(blouses, shirts, etc.) and accessories like hatsor handbags. When they find fine pieces,they lovingly wash, iron and mend thembefore showing them to their customers.

« Food focus »at CHATOU

Let’s not forget that in the Middle Ages, theFoire de Chatou was the place to buy holidayhams. One street in today’s fair, the BoulevardVoltaire, is the living memory of thatgastronomic heritage. Oysters from Brittanyand Normandy, fois gras and confits from theGers, cured hams and sausages from Corsicaand Lyon, tripe from Guéménée or the Vire,wines from Bordeaux or Bourgogne. What’snew at this year’s fair? “Bars” offering a widevariety of quality products: a soup bar at Gary,a cocktail bar in the new restaurant Papillus,and a champagne bar manned by a producerfrom Reims, Éric Jullian.

People come to have fun in a friendly place andenjoy Geneviève Bébin’s celebrated ham on thebone or her suckling pig, freshly spit-roastedbefore your eyes. Her ham is prepared by hand,following a traditional recipe, just the thing for agenuine gourmet moment.

The Oliveras, specialists in Pata Negra, offer aselection of the best Spanish hams: Serrano,Pata Negra and Bellota.

Yannick Dubois is from Brittany but his specialityis duck. Whether pan-fried foie gras to be eatenon the spot or homemade cassoulet to takeaway, It’s all delicious, even the pork. As a goodBreton, he can’t resist adding cubed pork rillons

and tenderloin to his menu. But best of all is Yannick’s humour -- to be savoured without moderation.

Marie Lauga has her own fan club of foodies,built over three generations since 1976. Youwon’t find her address advertised, since herclients come to her by word-of-mouth. At theFoire de Chatou she offers wonderful foie grassandwiches, to be washed down with a glass ofwine from the hills of Gascony.

There is more than ham at the Foire de Chatou,however. You can sample delicious Marennesd’Oléron oysters at Perles de l’Atlantique’sstand or oysters from Normandy at the stand of Emilie Liron.
