We welcome any French-related,
clean, interesting items: dishes - linens - souvenirs - postcards -
books - gifts you never used - paintings - prints ... let your
imagination soar!
If you are an artist or craft person - consider
donating some things. Our friends from Frejus are bringing items for us
