    I think there is also a fifth one in Paris :
    Nation Sports et Loisirs
    79Ter bd Picpus 75012 PARIS
    tel : (33) 01 43 43 25 29
    fax : (33) 01 43 45 63 14

    near subway station Nation (lines 1, 2, 6, 9 and RER line A)

    I never went there but I saw today fencers with bags of this shop.
