Buying spearo gear in France

[Dawsie]

Hi,

Im visiting Cognac & Carnac in a few weeks and would like to visit a few spearo stores, are there any in these towns please?

Well, there are not too many French spearos here on DB. I recommend asking at the French spearfishng forum Bienvenue sur la page d'accueil

However, you get often quite good choice and the best prices in sport superstores like the Decathlon, Sport2000, Interpsort, etc, so be sure to check them out. You can find them also online. For example Decathlon Cognac:
Magasin Decathlon Tarbes - 7 Chemin Cognac 65000 Tarbes - decathlon.fr
Chasse sous-marine - Plongée - Sports - Decathlon

You'll be surprised how many ordinary sports shops have a pair of C4's and a Quattro carbon in the corner of the store. I found a couple of shops in concarneau, fousenant, benodet and Quimper. Infact if you look for "le magasin de chasse sous marine" in most Bretagne coastal towns I'm sure you'll find something. I can't remember the exact names and locations of shops hence how vague this post is but ask the locals and the spearos you see on those reefy beaches. Every man and his dog is a spearo in Brittany it's brilliant. Kit everywhere, apnea magazines in the newsagents and best of all plenty of bass and bream in the shallows.
