I was sifting through some old PDF files today when I happened upon the catalogue for the French suppliers "L'Octant". Knowing that there are a few forum members who are resident in France, I though I'd post the link to their web site from where the catalogue can be downloaded. They now have a separate web shop, I see. I didn't use them while I lived in France, so can't comment on their goods, but the catalogue makes for an interesting read, anyway. [It's in French, of course!]

Interesting catalog with many hard to find items – perhaps not cheap, but sometimes that is not an option.
