I’m afraid this is not working. When I try to set up an account on FranceTV or Arte I’m required to input my postal code. But they do not accept foreign postal codes, and when I try to proceed without one I receive a message based on my IP address to the effect that I am outside the zone in which the service is provided.

Salut Gary! In that case, I recommend using "your" French postal code: 75001. Personally, I use the postal code of my address in France.

Merci bien, mais…. They still found me out with the IP address. However, I can view some of the news and sports channels. Just finished watching an interview with Jean-Paul Belmondo. I just have to be a little persistent. Someday perhaps I’ll actually have the Parisian postal code in the premier arrondissement!

Mmm, maybe using a VPN set to France and browsing in incognito mode does the trick.

Merci beaucoup, Timothée! J’ai déjà StrongDNS qui marche bien pour l’Angleterre, et j’ai aussi leur VPN. Je vais voir les plateformes suggérées! Andrea

Parfait !! Tu devrais pouvoir y accéder sans problème 😊

J’aimais beaucoup ton zoom aujourd’hui. J’ai une question: où se trouve la base pour les mercredis ateliers? Est-ce qu’il y un lien pour ça? Merci, et bon Thanksgiving!
