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.

75015 Paris
Tel : 01.40.56.07.09 / Fax : 01.40.56.00.11

near subway station Volontaires (line 12)

open Tuesday to Friday 9.30 am to 6.30 pm and Saturday 9.30 am to 5.30 pm
