Cultural Tip
In France, the most popular services are Netflix, Amazon Prime Video, Disney+, and the local platform Canal+ Séries. When speaking to strangers or older people, replace ‘ton’ with ‘votre’ to keep the tone respectful. Also, note that ‘streaming’ is an Anglicism widely accepted in everyday French, but you may also hear ‘service de vidéo à la demande’ in more formal contexts.
