Modern Vespa

Hey!
We're going to Paris and were wondering if anybody knows of a Vespa shop in the city that we could check out, maybe buy a couple of patches, etc.
I have not had much luck searching the internet.
Thanks!

Just found this one on Google - looks like they only do vintage, but that may be to your advantage if you want "real" Euro scooterphenalia...

What did you find?

Vintage will be perfect. However, I could not see what you found.
Thanks!

Whoops! Somebody's a dum-dum......ME! I completely forgot to post the linkage - sorry.

Do not miss Cafe Angelina! The best Hot Chocolate in Paris! They are located right on the Rue de Rivoli which is the main shopping blvd on the Right Bank/along the Seine. I know it is warm in Vista but it will be just cold enough at this time of year for a Hot Chocolate in Paris.

Have a great time!

Cheers,

Gianni

Thanks for the info!!

Il n'y a pas de quois.

If you want any info on other things to do when your bored of shopping and the usual sights PM me and i'll happily give you info on some not so normal sights of Paris. I take my students there every year and supply them with a list of a few of the more interesting places to go (nothing rude or seedy though, you kind find those for yourself )

In what age group do your students fall? Where do you stay economically?

sorry to answer so late...

I used to live in Paris (France), where I also grew up...

You can find a Vespa store around the Arcs de Triomphe on the avenue de la Grande Armée (opposite to Champs Elysés)...don't expect too much..;-( but you can also find on this long avenue a lot of motorcycle shops (with clothes etc...)...they are also other shops for Vespa & Co. in Paris but them you will have to go for one only at time as on the avenue de la grande armée you will have several....I my opinion, the only advantage for Vespa (scooter, motorcycle) shops in Paris is to have some bargains sometimes and more choice for city drivers...on this avenue you will also have an official Dainese store (!)...

Have fun there....

This is great, we went there two years ago so we have seen most of the usual sights. A list of interesting places will be highly appreciated.
Thank you!

Thank you for the information, we'll check them out.

I just came home from Paris - I went to a few Vespa shops near the Bastille Railway station - North along the Beaumarchais - it is opposite the Harley Davidson dealer. The shops are small but are filled to capacity with scooters.

Paris is where I fell in love with Vespa Scooters and I bought a GTS250ie when I went home.

that's indeed the second area for motorcycles, scooter (and eventually also bicycles)....
