They also have good history of fandom there (ask some old(er) heads in France about Albator, Goldorak, Nicky Larson, and of course "Les Chevalliers De Zodiac."....so awesome.)
Last I heard France is the 2nd biggest manga market in the world in front of the US (1st is Japan of course).

Anime is a different story though,there's the classics indeed (I don't think dragonball has been off the air anyday in the past 20 years,it's always airing on some channel) but I don't think streaming has taken off like in the US and the DVD market seems pretty much dead.
