    Are there any good retro game shops in Paris?

    I know it's a long shot..........BUT i should be going Paris later this month. I thought to myself, well as im there i may as well carry out an exercise in purchasing retro games BUT then it hit me, where do i look? Are there any decent shops? - these questions are driving me crazy!!

    Does anybody know of the names and locations of any decent shops in Paris?

    There's ****loads of them - about a dozen on a couple of streets around Boulevard Voltaire, just next to Republique Metro, and another 5 or 6 south of the river on Rue des Ecoles.
    They've got some truly jaw-dropping stuff, but sadly the prices are to match - last time I was there I must have looked in about 15 shops, but didn't see anything I wanted that couldn't be had cheaper on eBay. Still, a good distraction for an afternoon's window shopping

      Thank you once again, Sir.

        Check out the (tweeleries?) sorry I cant spell it, its basically the flea market area thing. I got a couple of cheap gameboy games there a few years back, everything else was really expensive though, even if it was broke (non-games related stuff) that was all I saw.. games-wise but I guess its worth a shot if you have some time to kill.. thats all I can remember.

          I'm afraid Paris sucks for decent priced retro, even more than London. Get out and about and you can find some decent stuff though - picked up some good bargains in Dijon a couple of years ago

            Yeah they're are a few decent ones knocking about - pretty much all the above ones mentioned, but as has been said they are all pretty pricy

              12 year thread necromancy!

              Are these places still about? Are there now better places to go? I know a few people have made comment in the past about there being some decent things to ogle, even if not particularly well priced.

              I thought there was a reasonable arcade scene in Paris too, but the only one I knew by name (Arcade Street) is supposedly shuttered.
