So would I, but the reason BBC iPlayer can’t be viewed in France is that (in the vast majority of cases) the BBC’s rights only allow them to broadcast the programmes in the UK. This is often because they have sold overseas broadcasting rights to other organisations.

Please feel free to pass me any feedback or problems you may have had locating.
Apparently there were some teething problems in that customs and then distributors who don’t work on Fri, Sat and Sun…
Hello Sue – It should be available in most key cities – not sure at the moment but I am told this website should show you your nearest stockist:-

Apparently my nearest stockist is 304km away, in Paris.
I wonder if there are any stockists outside Paris?
I can bring you one down at the weekend
Thanks. If I had a tv that received uk programmes that would be most helpful!
So my nearest stockist is 325 km away on the west side of Paris !
This is not exactly overly helpful. 
Where are you based? What is your local shop that you normally buy newspapers etc from?
There will obviously be teething problems and we aren’t able to supply every store in France unfortunately.
If you can give me an idea of where you are and you regular shop. I can see if the distributors can pinpoint.

I’m in eastern Vendee (Department 85). Perhaps you might consider entering into a distribution agreement with one or more of the supermarket chains such as Systeme U for example. Some of their stores stock the New York Times on a daily basis.
Why not sign up to one of the online magazine reading services? If you use your UK coordinates to sign up (you might be best to use a vpn to make sure)? All the TV magazines are on them in each country. You can see then for many countries not just your own registered home country. (There are cross country restrictions with some titles in some categories, but not too many, France does it a bit in both directions so I’d register as in the UK unless I want one of the restricted France titles.)
Some work so you download your chosen magazines so can read them offline, some others so that access is always live only. They all have first time user offers very regularly direct and through other linked retailers.
eg in France LidlPlus app will show you one (plus a good Ulys pass offer available till August btw), in the UK I prefer Pressreader (better international selection for my interests) however Readly is excellent and better for motors coverage including internationally.
Pressreader has been given sometimes by airlines sometimes for a week or so when you travel with them, for these services you should be able to find 2 months free trial if not 3 and I’ve seen 4.
The monthly direct debit (which could be to the right country account for your regn via Wise, for example) I find highish after the trial but guessing still less than buying the Radio Times on paper for a month and you mostly get access to all magazines everywhere fot that flat monthly rate.
Another option is Kindle Unlimited - Radio Times is available in there as part of the Kindle Unlimited monthly subscription - £9.49 a month on UK Amazon - which of course also gets you a ton of other magazines and books (including a couple of other TV guides!)

Department 24 is not known as Dordogneshire without good reason and ought to be your first target area after Paris
