ORHorse girls’ guide to Paris 🐎🇫🇷 I was there for the weekend and made time to visit two tack shops that are absolutely worth a stop if you ride.
PADD (Paris – two locations)
📍 14 Rue de la Cavalerie, Paris
📍 177 Bd Haussman, Paris
Huge stores, very well stocked, and genuinely great service. I don’t speak French and they were incredibly helpful. They fitted me for a Samshield, helped me find an exercise sheet, and walked me through VAT. I saved close to $300 on the helmet alone, which definitely adds up.
Guibert
📍 7 Av. Emile et Armand Massard, Paris
Smaller, more traditional, very classic French tack shop. Also helpful even if you don’t speak French. They were a bit low on XL sizes when I visited, so I’d recommend emailing ahead if you’re looking for something specific. I did leave with a leather halter, so still a win.
If you’re a horse person in Paris, both are worth visiting. Different strengths, both great, and a very good excuse to wander the city.
