Vintage bikes in Paris?
I am in Paris for the semester and I was wondering if anyone knew of any vintage bike stores or places where I could buy a bike...
Or where they post advertisements for used bikes...
Any info would be helpful....
Peace.

If you are looking for roadsters try searching for 'velo hollandais' on eBay.fr. I see things like this quite often:

Also, there's a shop in Paris (8th?) that specializes in bikes like these. I'll try to find their contact info for you.

Pretty sure I have seen used bikes in front of the place on Boulevard Sebastopol in the 3rd arrondissement.
