Who is going to Biиvres?

Hi everyone,

I plan to visit the Bièvres collectors fair beginning of June,
as in every year since 1991. Who else will be there?

To make it a bit more tempting for you:
I might bring something nice to show around... [:D]

Regards, Michael

Michael ,

Hi cedricfan,

Biévres is in FRANCE, near Paris, and houses a very interesting Museum of Photography.

Michel.

Aidas,
every years , "Bièvres" photo fair stand the first week end in June.
the beginnig is saturday ( 2 a.m.) and close sunday (19 a.m.)
The place is a very pleasant village in the south of Paris (suburb) .You can stay whith a camper or a small tent (free place under trees) overnight, just on the side of a little river)
hotels in Paris . easy railway station access, direct line from Paris.

many japaneses buyers , some middle Europa sellers , some German and english too.

In addition to Alains explanation I would like say that Bièvres is THE place to go if you are into russian cameras.
Many sellers from Eastern Europe offer quite unusual equipment there.


Also, there are so many crazy collectors in Bièvres from all over the world,
that you will feel at home there - no matter what you collect...

See you there on May 31st / June 1st.

Regards, Michael

Alain,

Thank you very much! Unfortunately the 1st sunday of June is always occupied by similar fair near Riga (Latvia). A lot of collectors - camera sellers from Baltic States, a lot of customers from Scandinavia, Germany as well. A big quantity of my cameras were bought in that show some years ago. And the prices were funny enough ... [:)] I have bought my Smena-2M at price of 10 euros, Zorki-2c Festival - 4 euros, my friend obtained brown Maliutka for 20 euros ... [:)] Now the situation is changing obviously, but I always have my hope to find something special again ...

I will try to plan my trip to Bievres next year. I have heard a lot about this Photo Fair and would be happy to come at once.

Best Regards,
Aidas

damn [:(!], I'd like to come this June ... but it's too late ...

Please remind us earlier in 2009 as also my calendar is too full. Next week Riga and 14th June to Bucarest, so "a bit" difficult to stretch this inbetween [:(]
But next year I could put a week or two in there, adding a summer vacation to it [^]

Maybe someone can make an entry in Wiki articles with show schedule and everyone can edit it and add events that they know of!

It is a great idea! I never was on such show, because I do not know how to find them .
