That Summer in Paris

Set against Paris during the 2024 Olympic Games, the French dramedy That Summer in Paris (Le Rendez-vous de l'été) is now available to watch online on iFILM. Blandine, thirty and a little lost, leaves quiet Normandy for a short trip with one plan: catch the swimming events.

The capital has other ideas. Crowds, missed connections and small everyday mishaps pile up while she wanders the packed streets, bumping into strangers and into a reunion she never saw coming. First-time director Valentine Cadic keeps it brief at 77 minutes and gently funny, more a wandering character sketch than a plotted story. Blandine Madec plays the lead, with India Hair beside her. One for fans of low-key, observational French cinema that lets the city do the talking. Stream That Summer in Paris (2025) online on iFILM.
