Recorded use
Wiktionary examplesThese source excerpts show how vide-greniers appears in context. They illustrate usage; the definition above remains the entry’s reference meaning.
Ma collection, je l'ai bâtie au fil des années, des semaines et plus particulièrement des week-ends. Enfin, surtout des dimanches matin. Chaque semaine, de mars à octobre, nos villages de France organisent une multitude de vide-greniers, bric-à-brac, brocantes et autres foires à tout.
La saison des vide-greniers s'ouvre alors que le printemps pointe, pour la plus grande joie de tous leurs amateurs. Ceux-ci, vendeurs, « déballent » aux aurores sur des tréteaux branlants, ou « chineurs », farfouillent fébrilement dans les tas de vieilleries au charme désuet, en quête de la perle rare.
