You have to take the train, is is more than half an hour with the fastest
trains. Yes they are situated in Mantes la Jolie.

I would appreciate hearing
>about anyone's experience buying horns over there.

It is a factory, they are not allowed to sell clarinets. You can only buy
them through shops, in Paris for instance. But if it is arranged in advance,
you migh choose a clarinet in Mantes and buy it from a shop afterwards. Not
easy since they do not have a lot of room for trying clarinets.

Best wishes Franck
