I ALSO HUNTED FOR A NICE GUNSHOP IN PARIS. FINALLY FOUND ONE WAY DOWN (NORTH) THE STREET-GASTEEN RENEE-- FROM THE ARMY MUSEUM, BUT IT WAS A DISAPOINTMENT. STICK TO THE TOURIST ATTRACTIONS AND BAKERIES.

Leighton: Gastinne Renette was a very famous maker, primarilly of duelling pistols during the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. It is sad to here that they no longer hold that place of emminence.

You know, only one of us would go to Paris and only think of looking for gun shops.

Well Mills, I guess that makes me the guilty one. We're underway as I am writing this text and on our way to the next stop on the Rhone River. Trip has been superb thus far. Weather has been in the low 80's and nice and dry. Everyone friendly. Visited the d the the castle the Pope's in the 13/14 century built when they moved the papacy (temporarily) from Rome to Avignon. Fascinating. Bakeries here are out of sight. wine flows rather freely as well. we walked around Avignon yesterday for about 4 hours, visited flea markets (no guns-just toy one's) and many local shops selling various herbs and spices, lavender soap, cotton clothing made locally etc. Interesting. Saturday we take the train to Paris for 4 days and then on to London for 2 days and Purdeys and H&H for sure!

That was not a negative criticism in the least. If you find any good gun shops, please report back. Sounds like you are having a lot of fun. Get photos of Purdey and H&H if you can

It has been a while (1982) but when I was in France we toured all over the best parts of France were Normandy(history), Nice(beaches), Bordeaux(drink), Cognac. Well wishes and have a great time. Todd
