Paris, the global fashion capital, thrives with military surplus shops and thrift stores. The historic Doursoux stands out for its curated selection of premium military gear, including new clothing, accessories, and a vast destocking range with over 2,000 items to match any style. In the 12th arrondissement, Surplus Discount on Boulevard de Picpus specializes in American military surplus. The Flea Markets also feature plenty of thrift stores stocked with military items.
Medium and large towns across France boast dedicated military surplus outlets. In Lyon, snag a camouflage jacket at Stock Perrache on Quai Rambaud, Le Bivouac on Cours Lafayette, or General Store at Place du Gouvernement. Bordeaux hunters visit L'Ami Bidasse in the Dumes-Langon area—slightly outskirts but offering immense surplus, including rare American finds. Downtown, try Militaria Surplus on Rue Fondaudège or Les Trois Couleurs on Avenue de la Libération. Toulouse regulars head to Surplus Hector on Rue de la Bourse or Military Surplus Promodis in nearby Saint-Alban. In the East, Strasbourg favorites include QG Store on Rue du Faubourg-de-Saverne and Arcadis in Illkirch-Graffenstaden.
