DVDs of French Movies Bought in Paris

I love French cinema but quite a lot of it is a minority interest here in the Anglophone world so there are relativly few DVDs of French movies published

I was wondering if French published DVDs of French films come with alternate subtitles in English. Some DVDs here in the UK have a multilingual option My French isn%26#39;t good enough to understand the French soundtrack.

If this is the case where is the best place in Paris to browse for DVDs?

Hi

Many French films that have attracted broader appeal have sub titles and some have alternate language tracks. Depends really on the film.

More popular French films that would have alternate language tracks would be found in the larger outlets such as Virgin on the Champs or FNAC many places in Paris, Champs, metro Ternes or Bastille.

For discounted films the Boulevard St Michel between the Fountain and Luxembourg offer loads of browsing...

But a great resource and some of the best prices are offered at www.amazon.fr

Free shipping too if purchase is over 20 euros, if that is you have a place to ship them in Paris...

It is usually very clear on the case if English subtitles are included. Often there will be a small UK or USA flag to indicate this.

Is there any issue with %26#39;regions%26#39; settings on French DVDs vs. those from USA, or even Britain?...

UK and France are in the same DVD region, no problems playing them on a European DVD.
