What's available
Amazon Prime Video in France gives you access to a solid library of both international and local content. You'll find Amazon Originals like The Boys, Reacher, The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel, Jack Ryan, and Fallout. Film-wise, you can stream titles like Air, The Burial, and Road House (2024). French subscribers also get strong local productions, including Les Engagés and other Canal-adjacent co-productions. Sports fans get access to select UEFA Champions League matches depending on your subscription tier.
What you're missing
Compared to the US library, the French catalogue has some noticeable gaps. You won't find several licensed films and older TV series that are available in the US due to regional rights deals. Specific titles often missing or delayed in France include Justified: City Primeval, certain seasons of Bosch: Legacy, and a range of classic Hollywood films that cycle through the US library. Documentaries like Shiny Happy People and some stand-up specials are also frequently unavailable or delayed. The French library tends to be smaller in total title count, particularly in the back-catalogue department.
How to access other regions
Using a VPN lets you connect to servers in other countries, making Amazon Prime Video think you're browsing from that region. To access the full US library, connect your VPN to a US server before opening the Prime Video app or website. Our top recommendation is NordVPN — it consistently bypasses Amazon's geo-blocks, offers fast streaming speeds, and has dedicated servers optimised for streaming. Simply download NordVPN, select a United States server, and refresh Prime Video. You'll instantly see the expanded American catalogue.
Pricing
Amazon Prime Video in France is included with an Amazon Prime subscription, which costs €6.99 per month or €69.90 per year. A standalone Prime Video plan is available for €5.99 per month if you don't want the full Prime membership. Add-on channels like Paramount+ or OCS are available at extra cost through the Prime Video store.
Our recommendation
If you're based in France and want to get the most out of your Amazon Prime Video subscription, pairing it with NordVPN is the smartest move you can make. The French library is decent for Originals but limited for licensed content. Connecting to a US server unlocks hundreds of additional titles instantly, giving you real value for your subscription fee. Stream Reacher, catch up on Bosch: Legacy, and browse a vastly larger film catalogue — all without paying anything extra beyond your existing Prime plan.
