Dirty Weekenders in France

Renowned self-styled curio hunter Richard E. Grant heads to the continent to reveal the world of people who scour barns, cowsheds and French farm attics in search of pre-war treasures to bring home. The series delves into the realm of professional antique hunters and dealers who seek hidden treasures at flea markets and antique shops across France, hoping to uncover curios such as absinthe glasses, horse linen and vintage traffic lights that will fly off UK shelves. Richard and two dealers traverse the continent to raid its troves and uncover the stories behind their remarkable vintage finds, as well as the history and culture of the areas they visit. But can they recoup their outlay in a weekend? And as Richard revels in the land of dusty cafés, beautiful B&Bs and the perfect citron pressé, can these dealers actually make a living from a weekend of treasure hunting?
