In Europe we had the choice between the Pal at 50Hz and the Pal 60Hz which was like the Ntsc

Since you're from France, you should also definitely remember SÉCAM, since all french channels actually used that system instead of PAL. Eastern Europe also adopted SÉCAM for political reasons: NTSC was from the Americans and thus not an option, while the neighboring countries from the Warsaw block used PAL. So to avoid the inhabitants to receive that signal, the Soviet Union, and by extension the whole Warsaw block,  choose SÉCAM as their transmission standard.
