It's been a looooooonnnnnnggggggggg time since I've been in Paris..actually, the last time I was in France was when anime was just starting to become big there. So at the time, there were a lot of little manga and anime shops squeezed in with the book stores an street cafes.

I don't know of any shops off the top of my head, but there are a few well known cel dealers located in France.

A couple of years ago Gabe and I visited Paris and went to Atomic Club.
I'm not sure if they still excist, because I can't find their site, but I believe this was their address:

Atomic Club
17, rue Trousseau
Paris

They were a bit reluctant to show us their cels, but once they understood we were not kids just wanting to see the pretty images but collectors and really serious about buying they loosened up.

Could you ever be certain? Let's wait and see what they do.

2. A robot must obey the orders given it by human beings except where such orders would conflict with the First Law.
3. A robot must protect its own existence as long as such protection does not conflict with the First or Second Law.

Atomic Club do not exist now, but they have changed name (I don't rember the actual name) but now they sell 90% hongkong fake item! pfffffffffffff! so stupid!

I went many times to Atomic Club, and I found the sellers absolutely NOT symaptic or gentle! it was not friendly.
I had a lot of difficulties to see their cels book too!
To see them, I must said (not friendly too) "If you don't want to sell your cels don't! I will find other cels anywhere, you're not alone in Paris") >_<
and they shown...
