French authorities acted recently to ban advertising images of both Pokerstars and Moneymaker at the club.

This year, 2007, French authorities have not allowed the event to take place. In its place, the European Poker Tour has announced two new legs - in Warsaw, Poland and Dortmund, Germany. These two countries are new venues for Poker. Italy is another potential location, since gambling laws have been relaxed there.
