How to watch French Channels from abroad

You are a French citizen, you travel or work outside of France and you wish to watch French live TV, full episodes and on-demand television online? But most French channels do not have the rights for international distribution. That's why access to these sites are blocked from abroad. But a France VPN allows French TV channels not only available for Internet users residing in France. 
It is not possible with your normal internet connection which gives away your foreign IP. To make websites believe that you are located in France you will need to make it look like your computer is in France, and this can be done by connecting your computer to a server in France. The result is therefore that all content earlier blocked will turn open, and then you will be able to watch these video contents online easily.
