Shopping in Paris

Does anyone know if any fencing shop in Paris carried the Vniti blades ?
If so can you supply the address or contact details.
I have already checked out the equipment site and can only find Uhlmann and Allstar suppliers in Paris. Looking specifically for Vniti.
Thanks

I don't think you'll find Vnitis in Paris. Most Russian blades in France are brought in by coaches after World Cups there.

In Paris, you will find Uhlmann/Allstar, Prieur, and Soudet, but I doubt that you will find anything else.

Unfortunately, we don't have as much independent resellers there than you guys have, so there's not much competition at this point.

Oh well ... I more of less had a feeling that I might not be able to get my hands on some Vniti blades in Paris.
Thanks for letting me know veeco, guess I will just enjoy the sights, sounds and foods of France.

Dark Transient, thanks for suggestion too .... but ..er ... I think I will pass on FL this time round, maybe next time.
