Coutellerie Renaud | Laguiole en Aubrac — Local services in Paris

Excellent selection of good quality knives.

Friendly, gracious, and very intelligent staff who were patient with my kids and my very weak French language skills (I tried my best - they were nice.) One of the two men working that day spoke remarkable English, thankfully.

Also, they provided accurate, intelligent warnings regarding bringing the knives back into the UK via train.

Note for those interested: At this time, July, 2017, the laws regarding bringing cutlery into the UK from France via train demand that you wrap up your knives in a box or bag, wrap with a lot of tape, and pack the package deep in your luggage. They will allow you to bring in knives but they must be inaccessible.

Train customs will NOT allow you to bring knives from the UK (very strict knife laws) into France (less strict knife laws), strangely. You might be better off sending your French pocket knife treasures by post.

This is exactly what the staff at the store told us. They were well informed and kind...

The worst&terrible shop in the world!! I bought a knife at here but it was not the one i was looking for. So i requested to refund because they didn’t mention about the return policy when i pay. But the manager denied and can issue the voucher. I am a tourist for here and don’t need that. And they said ‘not refund’ has been noticed on somewhere in french. They don’t care that you don’t understand french because they sold it. If you are the one of my friends, I recommend you don’t buy...

I was here last Summer with My Wife and Daughter. I bought a couple of openiels and a laguiole. The owner was very warm to welcome. He looked for my son but i only had a daughter. He told us Stories on how french knives came to be, and since i didnt have a son he told my Daughter that Someday my pocket knife would be hers which made her blush a little.. If you love collecting knives this is the place to be. 101%. Thank you for the great memory, someday...
