La vente de colis perdus, devenue une mode dans les grandes villes, s’invite à Millau ce vendredi 19 et samedi 20 avril.

In the aisles of the La Capelle shopping center, there are no crowds on Friday morning. They are still waiting to wake up when the market stalls are full of life in the old center. This Friday, April 19, around ten curious people gathered in front of the closed doors of the premises which regularly host pop-up shops. For good reason, a sale of lost packages is held there.

"It’is original"

We feel, underweigh, to try to force destiny. Free lunch – Maxime Cohen

Families, young couples, retirees. The profiles are varied in search of the rare pearl. Valérie, Fabien and their two boys wait while waiting for the keys to open the premises to arrive. " Look, it's Alstom, the company that makes metros, it's big, observes one of the two curious young people through the window.  "We come from Lyon and here, usually, there is more of an hour to an hour and a half in line before returning, the sales are held in large hangars", < /em>says Valérie. There, none of that, no rush when returning. "It’is therefore the first time that we participate, because at us, there were too many people. We came with our children and we said to ourselves that it was original." The couple was passing through Millau and discovered this sale by chance, after his visit to the Viaduct. "I suspect that we won't do a big deal today, smiles Fabien. We imagine that all the lots of values ​​have already been taken. But hey, we've all lost a package one day and we know that there can be nice surprises."
