I am going on a cycling holiday with some friends to France shortly. Now I
can just about get by with my school boy French to find the nearest bar and
order a few beers. However, asking the way to the nearest cycle shop
because some item on my bike has suffered a catestrophic failure is beyond
me.

Most of the supermarkets used to sell decent bike parts pretty cheaply
(i.e. not top-end stuff, but a league above any supermarket I've seen in
the UK).

Safe cycling,

Even quite small supermarkets often have bicycle departments and the large
supermarkets will sell all kinds of stuff, including puncture kits, tubes,
lights, spare dynamos, locks, baskets, pumps, and the odd selection of tools and
nuts/bolts.

If you see a Decathlon store while you are over there its well worth a
visit anyway. Very reasonable prices, I have bought quite a lot from
them over the last few years.

====================
Go into your local library and borrow a French 'Duden'. This is a pictorial
dictionary covering almost everything in daily use. You should be able to
photocopy the appropriate page(s). I believe that you can also find it
online but I can't find it.
