Double Bass Looking for cotrabass shop in Paris

[Tadd Bass]

I am visiting now in Paris and just wondering if there are some good contrabass shops in Paris. Also I am visiting other countries in a month. I would appreciate if you send here some information of contrabass shop in Paris and other places.

I found the similar thread but a kind of old, I thought.

I am planning south Europe and Baltic states now.

I can give a couple suggestions, but I only know a few small luthiers, not big shops specialising in bass.
There are many music shops on the Rue de Rome, But no big bass shops. Nice sheet music stores, and many luthiers - mostly not bass though.
Jean Bejuy is a luthier on Rue de Rome that works on basses.

Patrick Charton has a shop in Paris.

You might contact Youen Cadiou, a bassist who might have a couple of Christian Laborie's basses at his apartment. I can let you know his contact info if you want.

The bowmaker Boris Fritsch has his shop in Paris. He's fascinating.

These are the places and people I met with when I visited Paris a couple years ago. I ended up buying my bass from Tom Martin in England. I didn't find any shops like that in Paris.

Good luck, and cheers from Japan

To complete the list in Paris:
James Chauvelin, in Marais district (if i remember well rue Charlemagne)
Aloca , rue de Rome
Paris Contrebasses in Aubervilliers (north Paris suburb with subway)
Alienor, Rue de Rome
All those are bass only shops and luthiers (Pascal Ruegger is a fine luthier but doesn't sell )
If you are interested i have 6 basses and thinking about selling at least 2 if you want to come at my place and give a look. Good luck with your research !

Thanks, Massimo. Really helpful. I will check them. Also I would like to take a look at your basses if I have a chance.
