I think there are quite a few French LEGO fans online, but they're having
trouble getting organized.  There was a vote about a year ago for a new
Usenet group fr.rec.jeux.lego, but it didn't get enough Yes votes (I think
it was 20 short of 100).  It's just a matter of finding a few people to get
it started, I think.  (Just like when you guys in Italia discovered LUGNET
a little over 3 months ago, and then /loc/it/ gathered momentum rapidly...)

I would suggest posting a wide announcement and directing followups to
groups like lugnet.robotics.events & lugnet.org -- for example:

   Newsgroups: lugnet.announce,lugnet.robotics.events,lugnet.org,
               lugnet.loc.at,lugnet.loc.be,lugnet.loc.ch,lugnet.loc.dk,
               lugnet.loc.de,lugnet.loc.es,lugnet.loc.fi,lugnet.loc.fr,
               lugnet.loc.ie,lugnet.loc.it,lugnet.loc.nl,lugnet.loc.no,
               lugnet.loc.pt,lugnet.loc.se,lugnet.loc.uk

   Followup-To: lugnet.robotics.events,lugnet.org
