Ummm... why is Pinball so popular in France? USA I understand. Australia too. I'm surprised to see so few locations in England, but why are there so many locations in France? If it is/was Post War American influence why not a ton in West Germany?

Pascal Janin is just one example of the strong French pinball community. He's been making boards for close to 20 years now.
