The French Collection

Today’s competition begins in Villeneuve-les-Avignon in the Languedoc where three rivals go head to head to bag the best bargains from a sunny French market. They’ve each got 800 euros to spend and expert dealer Mark Franks on hand to help. They’re looking for items to upcycle back home before taking everything to Lincoln to sell on – and whoever makes the most profit wins everyone’s money. Today, Stephen learns the hard way the perils of buying lighting, Lisa shows how to save loads of money when getting things framed and Alice creates a new shelving unit out of a ladder.
