I'm planning a trip to Europe and I would like to spend some time looking at real nice guns.

Can anyone give me some leads to the best gunshops in Spain & France?

Thanks - and I hope the Euro keeps crashing!

Hello OWD,

A friend's friend (Jacky BRUSSON) owns this gunshop: http://www.armureriejeannot.com/

He is a Liege trained gunsmith and the French agent for Holland & Holland, amongst
other things. Says he has over 400 guns in stock. Should be worth a visit.

P.S.: Euro supposed to go down to 1.25 soon.jc

In Spain , Madrid, Diana Viaji ( google them)
In the basque region, you have the gun makers, always worth considering if you're in that region.

France, Paris

Thanks for the info. Those places are now on the list.

My fiance will be shocked when our travels magically take us right by those shops.

Are there any shops in Spain or France that are highly regarded for having a wide selection of high-quality used stuff?

I would love to check out guns from old Euro makers that we rarely see over here.

Thanks again,

OWD

These are the one I know in Spain:

I know you will enjoy your trip. I do not think you see any great bargins. Generally you will see lots of 12 ga guns, but very few small bores gun.

Also, generally you need to buy several guns to off set the import costs. I never ship less that 4-5 guns minium

I was wandering through the old city part of Strasburg and came upon a very nice high end gun store. Lots of big money guns but the lady spoke no english and I no french so it was a visual experience only.

My information is a little dated but if you are in Paris here is where I used to go:
Laurent Gilbert of Centrale du Fusil d'Occasion
Alex, bld de Courcelles. (www.armuriealex.com)
H&H Avenue Victor Hugo,
Armurerie Jeannot � Levallois (next to Paris and Neuilly) has already been mentioned
Armes Bastille: in particular if you like German/Austrian guns
Armurerie de la Tour Eiffel, Avenue de la Bourdonnais

If you go to Rennes, visit Armurerie & Coutellerie de Bretagne, not the biggest shop and not a great deal of old doubles, but the owner is a good friend of mine. www.armes-et-couteaux.com

while in Paris, visit the French National Hunting museum

If you go through Munich, the German National Hunting Museum is also a great visit.
