Looking for gunshop(s) while in Paris

[BRDHNTR]

I am leaving shortly for 2 weeks in France and the UK. While in Paris, I'd like to visit a quality gun shop but don't have a clue if any are located there. So would welcome any suggestions. I have the addresses for Purdey's and Holland & Holland and plan to visit them when we're in London. But Paris is a mystery to me as far as knowing of any quality double gun shops are concerned.

Forget gunshops in Paris. Visit Harry's New York Bar. And have one with the ghost of Ernest Hemingway... among a host of others. And The Ritz bar is the best on Earth. Especially if you have an American Express card.

Have them pegged on my itinerary. Thanks! Gotta love those bakeries and fresh coffee in the morning though. Been a few years since I was last in Paris but haven't forgot the wonderful smell of fresh baked goods early in the morning along those cobblestone streets

You can imagine the culture shock when going from Texas 'bakeries' to bakeries in Paris....

Have a great trip Allen!

Be sure to visit the Musee de Chasse (spelling ?). You will find it in the Michelin Guide. I haven't been there since the 70's but it should be there. It was great. I second the recommendation to visit Harry's NY bar. Have a Bloody Mary!

Skip Purdeys. H&H and William Evans for sure. Farlows is right down St. James and turn left.

Alan - We just got back from Paris - It is a great city with lots of great things to see. The crowds and lines at the various sites are big and cost a lot of time. I strongly recommend that you plan your days well before you leave and buy "Skip the line" tickets in advance over the internet. Also, the Musee de L'Armee is a very interesting place - they had every weapon and uniform that was ever used in french history. They also had a nice Musketeers exhibit there. Language and people's courtesy were not a problem, globalization and our money make it easy to operate there. We mastered the Paris Metro and navigated the city well. Have a nice trip, Billy Gross

Most common long guns in a French gunstore are military.
Signage usually reads,"Never fired, dropped only once".

Sorry, I couldn't help myself.

Allen, might I suggest you spend a night at the Moulin Rouge. Wonderful entertainment and dinner was great. We were there two years ago and it was a great nigh out.
