Does anyone know if there is a way to buy the Tour de France/Credit Lyonnais stuffed lion or do I have to win the Maillot Jaune myself to get it?? Swansway

I am almost positive that the last time I was in Paris, there were shops that sold the Credit Layonnais Lions, or stuffed animals that looked extremely similar as souvenirs, along with other cycling related brick a brack... I wasn't that interested in the Tour or Road cycling in those days and so I wasn't even sure why they were with the bike things... I think they were Gund stuffed animals... It was quite a while ago though...

You can buy the Maillot Jaune from the Trek Website along with every other piece of the USPS livery, why would getting the Lion be so hard :)

If they are available as souvenirs in stores, someone, somewhere must sell them online... I would just keep doing google searches :) At least you know that they exist to be bought though...

Good luck in your search!

Out of curiosity, i checked e bay. I typed "tour Lion" in and a bunch of them popped up. Seemed to average around 50 bucks for one. Jeeez!
