In Paris I know of Trader and Squaregames in the Republique gaming area that are solely import. Akiba, Japan-Type and another who's name I forget are north east of Bastille and are again solely import. There's 2 more (well, 3 really) down in the Jussieu gaming area that are once more solely import.
Other than that, I think every store in the Republique & Jussieu area have at least a wall given over to imports, so that takes things up to around 24 stores total with imports and/or retro-import on sale.
It's pretty good I guess, they all get new titles in damn quick for if you can't wait for play-asia and they carry a number of rare, occasionally mint consoles hanging around just by by doorstep.
Of them all Japan-type is probably the best, it's a place where they have all the consoles out to play, so you can go in and play saturn titles all saturday if you want. They have a cab in the corner too and do shmups nights and fighting nights, at least on the shmups night i've been to they have about 8 different systems out with various games on each, it's all pretty sweet.
