Do you know any good bikes shops in France?

Lyn

During a recent discussion on Twitter, it was suggested by Matthew at Suffolk Cycle Surgery that France is a bit short of good quality bike shops, with Decathlon sometimes the only option.

We have bike hire listings on the site, and many of these places also do sales and service, but I wanted to start this thread so people can list/suggest/recommend good general bike shops they come across in their travels, or those close to where they live.

Please try and include as much info as possible (bike shop name, address and a website, if available), plus any other info you think will be useful for other cyclists.

Cheers,
Lyn @ FF

Thanks for those names, Walter.

Rebecca at easycycling.com has Tweeted to throw her support behind Decathlon.
"DECATHLON uk just isn't the same as DECATHLON france - the one in Annecy and Chambery is/are brilliant," she Tweets.
"they have really good quality road bikes too...and hybrids....and cycling kit...and full selection of energy stuff..."

Welcome
