Lift your spirits
Let’s say it’s one of those days when all you want is to spend a relaxing time on the couch watching French comedies: no problem! Let your hair down watching the fabulous Jean Dujardin in the classic OSS 117 secret-agent spoof movies or the more recent Return of the Hero, a comedy set in 1809 when the hero Captain Neuville returns from battle to find that the love letters he cherished were not written by his bride-to-be. Or why not brighten your spirits with the blockbuster film The Visitors, which sees Jean Reno as a medieval knight accidentally transported into the 20th century.
Dare yourself
If you’re feeling brave, dare yourself to watch a film noir or one of the brilliant French thrillers available to stream on France Channel. Follow detective Agathe Koltès as she solves murders in Brittany, the heist thriller Above the Law or choose from a whole range of Mary Higgins Clark movies made in France and sure to keep you glued to the screen.
Love the Paris specials
