| I don't know what region you're talking about.
Click here for a map and a list of the regions of France. This will help me figuring out which one you're talking about.

| You guys are about as funny as Jerry Lewis.
It has been awhile, but my understanding is that the following are still valid:
the Racing Club (good for non-French)
VGA in St. Maur
Saint Gratien (mostly epee, Boisse's club)
There is a very good club about 30 miles south in Melun. It used to produce some of the best foil fencers in France.
If you are going near Orleans, let me know and I'll reach out to a friend of mine who lives there and used to be their top junior foilist. He sould be able to help you out.
Realize that if you are going in the summer, things shut down big time.
Rick

| You can't reuse a pun in the same thread! Even if you're a moderator.

| And if you lose everything in Toulouse you can make the trek to Lombez and spend a week in bed.
G'head. Figure that one out.

Saint Gratien (mostly epee, Boisse's club) | the Racing Club is now known as LPR (Lagardere Paris Racing), due to a sudden influx of money from a rich entrepreneur whose last name is Lagardere.
I'll add to that the following clubs:
Levallois is _the_ biggest and best epee club in France. They have some of the best epee fencers in France and at each practice you get an opportunity to fence with them (which is _not_ the case at LPR).
Paris UC and Paris ASPTT are also very strong epee clubs.
