LE PORTRAIT
An address with a clear point of view.
Vintage Motors Bastille is the eleventh arrondissement's destination for riders who refuse to compromise between style and safety. Located at 8 bis boulevard Richard-Lenoir, this curated boutique offers a carefully selected range of neo-retro motorcycle equipment: vintage helmets by Shoei, Arai, Bell, DMD and Marko Helmets, leather jackets from Helstons and Belstaff, motorcycle gloves, caps and lifestyle accessories from brands like Deus Ex Machina and Von Dutch. The approach is that of a passionate concept store rather than a generalist distributor — each piece is chosen with care, and every recommendation is genuine. Quentin and Florian, the two sales staff regularly mentioned by customers, take time to guide you without pressure, over a complimentary coffee in the shop.
A detail that speaks volumes about the shop's philosophy. Worth noting: presenting your Instagram account at checkout entitles you to current promotions. Ideal for urban riders, café racer and scrambler enthusiasts, and anyone seeking certified equipment without sacrificing aesthetics.
« Excellent accueil : la jeune femme m'a présenté une bonne variété de casque susceptibles de me convenir. De la patience, du professionnalisme et une ambiance sympathique ! Malheureusement je ne suis pas parvenu à me décider et je reviendrai probablement l'hiver prochain. Merci pour tout »
