There must be some in Aix - it's really studenty and bike-friendly.

Can't speak for Provence, but in Northern France any high street sports shop has a decent stop of bike gear. Even big Hypermarkets sell spare brakes, tyres, tools etc.

there's a big old decathlon in avignon. oh and some smaller shops in maluacene, near the foot of ventoux.

the thing is, the french don't really for the small marque type of thing like the english do. the concept of the artisan framebuilder just isn't quite the same over there. hence possible dearth of little bike shop.

Go towards the outskirts of any town and you should find an Intersport and/or Decathlon, they have them everywhere over there...

Formatting Help

Don't worry about formatting, just type in the text and we'll take care of making sense of it. We will auto-convert links, and if you put asterisks around words we will make them bold.

Tips:

Create headers by underlining text with ==== or ----

To *italicise* text put one asterisk each side of the word

To **bold** text put two asterisks each side of the word

Embed images by entering:

That's the hard one: exclamation, square brackets and then the URL to the image in brackets.

* Create lists by starting lines with asterisks

1. Create numbered lists by starting lines with a number and a dot

For syntax highlighting, surround the code block with three backticks:

Just like Github, a blank line must precede a code block.
