Train shops in France (Magasins de trains)

[Beach Halt]

Bonjour chers francophones,

Pouvez-vous me conseiller quels magasins de trains et vendeurs en ligne en France offrent un bon service?

Je vais probablement acheter principalement en ligne, mais il est toujours bon de savoir où est un bon magasin pour quand je pourrais être dans la région.

Très amicalement

Good day fellow francophones,

Can you advise which train shops and on-line sellers in France offer good service?

I will probably be buying mostly on-line but it is always good to know where a good shop is for when I might be in the region.

In Paris many model railway shops have closed down in the 30 years that I have been here.

The rue de Douai still has several.

I can't remember if it's in the 9th or the 18th arrondissement, but be careful, it's close to the Pigalle red light area.

I don't know if you're aware of it but the equivalent of the N Gauge Society exists in France.

It's called l'Association Française des Amis du N (l'AFAN).

Bonjour.
Voici les 3 boutiques que je connais et recommande :
- Trains 160 (Lyon), www.trains160.com
- L'Atelier du Train (Orléans), www.latelierdutrain.com
- Baron du rail (Caen), www.barondurail.com

Il y aussi Jura Modélisme, www.jura-modelisme.fr, qui a bonne réputation. Mais je n'ai pas eu affaire à eux.
A éviter : Pierre Dominique, de nombreux mauvais retours d'expérience (y compris moi-même).
Bon shopping.

Hello.
Here are the 3 shops I know and I can recommend:
- Trains 160 (Lyon), www.trains160.com
- L'Atelier du Train (Orléans), www.latelierdutrain.com
- Baron du rail (Caen), www.barondurail.com

There is also Jura Modélisme, www.jura-modelisme.fr, which has good reputation. But I haven't bought something from them so far.
To be avoided: Pierre Dominique, for which there are many negative feedback (including from myself).
Enjoy !
