    Popper, check your PMs..
    • 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

    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)
