If you want to watch France 2, TF1, M6 or other French TV stations abroad you will get some trouble doing so. How can I watch French TV abroad?
As you, for example, visit the France website to watch France 2 or TF1 outside France you will get an error message. This error message will tell you that the content you want to see cannot be watched, because you are outside the borders of France. That is a so-called geographical block which makes it impossible for people outside France to watch most of the programs and live streams available on their website. But, what can you do if you really want to watch French TV online outside France? Here comes the answer!

Watch French TV online outside France
To watch French TV online outside France you will need to get yourself an IP address in France. That might sound complicated, but it is truly very easy and you can find yourself having a local IP address in France in a few minutes if you keep on reading and follow the instructions. Thus you can also watch live streams on France 2, France 3, TF1 and much more.
To get a French IP address I recommend that you use the VPN services of HideMyAss, a very good VPN provider with lots of servers in France. They also have great speeds, making sure that you can watch your favorite TV channel without buffering and delays. You can read my HideMyAss review here.
HideMyAss cost 12USD a month or about 80USD for a year. They also have a 30-day full refund policy, so if you are not satisfied you can simply ask for your money back.
Click the button above if you want to visit the HideMyAss website. Be aware of the fact that you can also download HideMyAss to iPhone, iPad and Android tablets and phones so this can be used on all operating systems to give you a French IP address.
