Paris
 

I am going again to one of my favorite cities in the world, but I realized that I know no dealer there. If you know something please PM or mail me.

Paris too.
 

I'm also going in August. Are there any shops there?

Don't expect to much, unfortunately. :(
Last time I was there it was extremely expensive combined with low quality.
But I was only looking at Indonesian and Filipino blades.
Maybe it's different for other regions?
I walked mostly the tribal art gallery streets.

To go to the Tribal Art galleries in PARIS
You can find the "Top of the Pop", sell your house, your car...before comming !

Métro : stations Odéon, Saint-Germain-des-Prés
RER : station Saint-Michel

- quai Malaquais
- rue des Beaux-Art
- rue de Seine
- rue Jacques Callot
- rue Mazarine
- rue Guénégaud
- quai des Grands Augustins

Or you can go to the free market :
Les puces de Clignancourt / St Ouen, Montreuil, Vanves...

I think it's better to go to the Quai Branly museum, if you don't want to waste your time.

Hello

I was in Paris few days ago. Ah, I would have liked to stay !
Anyway, if I could go back, I would go to these places (all these websites have an english version):
-More than 100 antique shops grouped together in the downtown, LEFT bank of the Seine river :

-Another group of antique shops grouped in the downtown, on the RIGHT bank of the Seine river :
http://www.louvre-antiquaires.com/
-The biggest antique market in the world, thousands of shops grouped together, in the close suburbs of Paris. The market is also called the Flea Market of Saint-Ouen :

- All the addresses of the tribal art galeries grouped in the same area and that are going to organize a common event in autumn :
http://www.parcours-des-mondes.com/
-The auctions center of Paris and France, in the Hotel Drouot building. In this building, everyday many auctions sales. Go and see, everything on sale is first exhibited there :

-The Army Museum in the superb Invalides Monument (with a beautiful church where inside are exhibited all the flags won on the battlefields by the French army)
http://www.invalides.org
- the middle-age museum of Paris :

YOU'LL NEED A LIFE IN PARIS TO VISIT ALL THESE PLACES.
AND THIS IS ONLY A FRACTION, GOOD LUCK !

shop in Paris
 

This is an excellent shop for antique weapons. Most are European but there are also ethnographic pieces.
