| Paris? Nah. No fencing clubs there. Really no fencing in France at all. Good luck finding something!   | |

| Below is a link to a discusion thread on the British Forum about Ecole Militaire in Paris.
I Have fenced there once it is a fascinating place in the basement of the French Military club in the heart of the city. Like a gentleman's club. The guy who initiated the thread seems keen to get visitors and make contacts. http://fencingforum.com/forum/showth...&threadid=2625
The best quality is probably Racing Club, but when I tried to visit a few years ago (when I was still reasonably good) I found them very unfriendly. | |

| Go check http://www.leap.fr.st. This is the fencing division of Paris website. It has a list of all the fencing clubs in Paris, with what weapons they specialize on, contact information, address, etc.
Keep in mind that some clubs are closed during the school vacations. Most fencing clubs are only starting to open after summer break this week. My club opened just today.
