The page is to promote "local user groups" which would be groups primarily accessible in whatever locale they are. The aim is to drive a more active participating PostgreSQL community by enabling organic growth in particular regions and cities through meetups, activities, etc. Probably a good measure of local activity would be having at least one meetup or conference per year.

This where PG.FR is interesting - it straddles both being a local user group while having a more global reach based on a common language. With that said, I would recommend to leave the listing as is, until more local groups start up in France, but would add a listing to other countries that have a PG.FR representative there so people are aware that they could contact / join PG.FR for more a more localized community. That way we know that there are regional contacts across the space that PG.FR covers.
