Eurovelo 6 - Bike store recommendations
Super niche question, so appreciate no one is available to advise!
I am looking to buy a (new or second hand) touring bike at the start of the Eurovelo 6 cross-Europe cycle, in Nantes.
Any suggestions on bike shops that a) are likely to have stock and b) will be happy and able to help someone with very little (read none) French?
Thanks!

I'm not a fan of sporting-goods stores selling bikes (I own a local bike shop in the SF Bay Area), but Decathlon Sports does quite a good business with bikes and you could research their offerings ahead of time so you wouldn't have to worry so much about language issues.
