Antiques, vintage and charity shops in the United Kingdom and right across Europe — nearly 16,000 of them, all on one map. The diary alongside it is unashamedly French: brocantes, vide-greniers and antiques fairs, rebuilt every day. So the map tells you what is open near you in Britain today, and the diary which weekend in France is worth the crossing. The antiques shop you walk past every day. The charity shop nobody ever mentions. The junk shop in the next village but one that only ever seems open when you are at work. The best bargain hunting is close to home — it just isn't written down anywhere. OuChiner writes it down. ON THE MAP: THE UK, AND NEARLY 16,000 SHOPS ACROSS EUROPE Pick the sort of shop you are after and the map shows every one around you, from London and Brighton to Manchester, Glasgow and Edinburgh — and on to Paris, Berlin and Amsterdam: • Over 6,000 junk shops, bric-a-brac and house clearance dealers • Over 5,000 antiques shops, antiques centres and second-hand furniture dealers • Over 1,000 charity, reuse and salvage shops • Over 850 vintage, retro and preloved clothing shops • Over 450 auction houses and salerooms • Over 350 shops selling on commission • Over 250 Emmaus shops and communities In 26 countries and more than 5,000 towns and cities. Opening hours, phone, directions and website where we have them. Photos and Google reviews appear on the listings an owner has claimed. IN THE DIARY: FRANCE Britain has car boot sales and jumble sales. France has brocantes, and the French diary is the one we keep — updated every day, from Normandy to Provence. • Brocantes and vide-greniers — the French flea market and car boot sale • Antiques fairs and dealers' markets • House clearance sales • Preloved and vintage clothing markets Sail on the Friday, do three villages on the Sunday, fill the car. WHAT YOU CAN DO • See what is around you — interactive map, filters by shop and event type, search by town • Fancy a rummage right now? "Today" puts a green dot on the shops open now and gathers the day's events • Turn up at the right moment — opening hours on every shop listing, and the weather forecast on every event page • Fall for something before you set off — "Objects" collects the furniture, china, glass, lighting, mirrors, jewellery and curios dealers have for sale, with photos and prices. Spotted one? Message the dealer straight from the app • Make a day of it — build a route shop by shop between two towns, then send it to your sat nav • Never hear about it on the Monday — pick the parts of France you care about and we will email you their brocantes on the day and time you choose ACROSS EUROPE The map doesn't stop at a border: the United Kingdom, France, Germany, the Netherlands, Belgium, Italy, Spain, Sweden and Denmark among the 26 countries. OuChiner speaks six languages, so the shops read in yours wherever you travel. WHO IT'S FOR People doing up a first flat on next to nothing. Collectors who know the mark they are after and will drive two hours for it. Anyone who would rather buy a chest of drawers that has lasted a hundred years than one that arrives flat-packed. And anyone who likes a rummage on a Sunday and wants to know where to point the car. FOR DEALERS AND ORGANISERS Antiques dealers, second-hand and vintage shops, charity shops and event organisers: list your shop or event free of charge and be found by shoppers all over Europe. Add your opening hours and photos, put your stock in front of buyers with "Objects", and answer their messages in the app. FREE, NO SIGN-UP, NO ADVERTS No account is needed to browse the map or the diary — sign up only for alerts, favourites or a listing of your own. No adverts anywhere in the app: nothing between you and the next shop. Built in France, mapping the whole of Europe. Happy hunting.
