There are legal streaming sites where you can find plenty of quality films and series, without having to pay a cent. And you may not suspect them!
There’s more than just Netflix, Disney+ or Prime Video in life. The streaming landscape is vast and full of sometimes unsuspected gems. At a time when everyone is competing with each other with big new products every week and having fun blocking account sharing or increasing their prices, it is difficult to choose which sites to favor. Did you know, for example, that it was possible to have access to several qualitative, legal and above all completely free platforms?
We are indeed very well off with France TV, France Télévision’s replay and streaming platform. Simply register for free to the site to have access to all the programs broadcast on public service channels, but also certain cult films or new releases linked to current cinema news, with several additions each month.
Since January 8, 2024, TF1+ has also been offering access to numerous films and several series thanks to its new platform. Free of charge, it is possible to discover the programs of the first channel (HPI, Sam…), foreign series, but also exclusive content. If everything is free, viewing is interspersed with advertisements. It is possible to avoid them by paying a premium subscription at 5.99 euros per month. On the same model, M6+ launched in May 2024, on which you can watch television classics for free, such as Normal People, Alias, The Good Fight but also the programs of the sixth channel.
For its part, Arte.TV also offers a streaming platform that should not be overlooked. Because yes, the site offers numerous cinematic fictions, quality series, documentaries or high-quality journalistic content on its site. Retrospectives on certain filmmakers are also regularly posted online with 5 to 10 films per author. Once again, everything is free, and without having to create an account.
But there are also other free streaming platform alternatives accessible in France. Rakuten TV puts films online for rental or purchase, but also free content to discover. Other more unknown platforms are accessible free of charge in France, with a more limited catalog however: this is the case of Molotov or Pluto TV. There is something for everyone!
