Retro game shops in Paris?

[Poppe]

Bonjour! I'm going to Paris in a few weeks and wonder if there is anyone who has any recommendations on good shops that sell retro games (or flea markets).

I haven't been to Paris in years, but just found out they now have a retro gaming bar: http://reset.bar

Paris isn't a great place for retrogaming. I've visited some places out of curiosity, but there is hardly any deal to be made in there.

Prices are in the high end of the market and most shops only stock the mainstream stuff.

And flea markets had long been raided by said shops to provide their stocks.

 

But if you want to bring home a French version of a game you like, that's up to you ^^

 

Here is a list of the high profile shops that are around République :

Thanks for the link CatPix. I do not have high hopes for bargains. I'm more curious retro scene in France.

Found this interesting article about Republique (French only):

I've only gone there around 1999/2000 to get a PS1 repaired and modded; guy said it was not fixable but offered to keep it at a small price. Was very obviously a lie, got it fixed elsewhere...
