PARIS, Sept 11 (Reuters) - French DIY chains Bricorama and 
Mr Bricolage  MBRI.PA  are in advanced talks over a possible 
link-up, French daily Le Figaro said on Friday, without citing 
sources. 
    In March, Kingfisher  KGF.L , Europe's largest 
home-improvement retailer, ditched its planned purchase of Mr 
Bricolage amid concerns over the number of store closures that 
would have been required to clear antitrust hurdles.

    Mr Bricolage declined to comment on the Figaro report while 
Bricorama could not be immediately reached for comment.
