Array Info on Fencing Clubs in France Hi, I am arranging to travel to France for a year on an exchange-type thing, I was wondering if anyone could give me some information on any fencing clubs that I could join over there. Also, if anyone knows of somewhere on the net where I could find out information about French fencing clubs I would be most appreciative.
Thanks. -
Try asking the administration of the school to which you're transferring. It's so popular over there, they shouldn't have a problem finding someone who can give you that information. -

Array First of all check the French Fencing Federation's website (all in French, but I assume that's not a problem for you if you are going there)
Address is http://www.escrime-ffe.fr
Another helpful link is http://www.escrime-info.com which I would describe as a French Fencing.Net ;-).
Second, depending on the school and the region you are going to, you may or may not have a fencing program there. The school I went to, for example, did not have one, so I had to start it. The difference with the US, I guess, is that it was generally accepted that it was viable to start a fencing club and getting funding wasn't so hard as it would be here.
Where are you planning on going? I could maybe give you more information if you tell me a little more about the school you are going to, etc. - Epee is the Louis Vuitton bag of fencing: only the best can get it, and the rest of the masses must content themselves with cheap knockoffs (sabre, foil)
- To not recognize the power of the French grip is to be in denial
