Hi all !!

Im going to Paris, France from 1 april to 10 april. Does anyone know of a hobby shop I can stop and shop at while im thier ? I will be at the:

Mercure Paris Gare de Lyon
2 place Louis Armand, Paris 75012 , France

I will be going because my daughters school band/guard is performing at Euro Disney. So figured since im in Paris, time to do some shopping.

Thanks all for any help.

You can go to both Azimut and Blast Models in Paris.....the addresses on their websites.

Blast is well worth going to....it is like aftermarket heaven.

So the best ones are
Blast models
5 rue Crozatier
75012
It is 2 blocks away from your hotel
Then Euromaquette
88 Rue de Charenton
75012
Finally Azimut Production
113 rue de turenne
75003
Enjoy your stay

For me, the very best is Blast.
You can check the items on the web and send a mail to ask for reservation.
it's, really the best ever.
the very good thing is that, in paris, this three shops (Blast, Azimut and Euromaquette ) are all in the 11eme arrondissement near Bastilles. it's easy with the bus, or the metro.
there is a good library to at A et C, 19 avenue de la république (11eme ).
Wish you a good trip and enjoy your stay in France.

I've forgotten to say that, blast and euromaquette are near to the gare de lyon too...

C'est domage, I was in Paris last October and didn't think to ask about good hobby shops!

THANKS GUYS !!! This is going to be GREAT !!

One last question, must I call Blast Models to make a reservation to be allowed in ?

Thanks again....now.....anyone know how I can sneek away from the wife to continue my "plastic habit" ??? Just when she thought she could get me away from the hobby shops...muwahahahahahahahahah

I was at Euromaquette last summer. They had an extensive inventory and lots of nice displays of finished models.

For Blast no need to call it is a normal shop
You can even ask to your wife and kids to walk on the coulée verte viaduc des art, It is a former railroad transform in a garden, you cannot miss it, it is just around the corner of Euromaquette and Blast shop.

Then finding the modelshops will not look so obvious.
