I have never seen an equivalent shop in France (doesn't mean there
isn't one, of course). The biggest retailer of photo equipment in
France is, I think, fnac, which is a large bricks-and-mortar chain of
department stores.

The marketing strategy of the importers is not favorable to the falls of price.
Many amateurs seek better prices on the Net or in store, often in Germany or USA.
The FNAC is rather a general public store and much of experts avoid it if possible, their prices are correct but far from the best purchases.
