INA madelen: French archive programmes, downloads and account routes

madelen is the INA’s curated streaming service for French television heritage, including series, films, documentaries, performance and other archive programmes. A subscription to the consumer platform is different from access to the INA’s entire archival holdings. Its direct account also differs from partner subscriptions.

INA madelen

Search an archive with programme details

Use the original title, approximate transmission date, performer or series when locating older material. A short excerpt on another INA page is not necessarily the same product as a full programme in madelen. Confirm the runtime and episode before selecting it.

An institution preserving an archive does not make every recorded programme publicly streamable. Treat the actual madelen catalogue as the available consumer selection, rather than assume an absent programme is a fault in the account.

Use the route where the subscription was purchased

INA’s help explicitly separates direct madelen access from Free, Amazon Prime Video and Orange television routes. Those provider accounts cannot simply be used to sign in to the direct site or apps, and the reverse is also stated.

If a programme plays in Prime Video but the madelen app asks for a subscription, inspect that distinction before paying again. The official Apple listing also includes an INA response explaining Prime Video’s separate account arrangement.

Prepare mobile downloads within the app

The official app advertises downloading programmes for offline viewing. INA’s help describes this as a mobile or tablet feature with an active subscription. Use the downloaded-items area on the actual device, not a watchlist or a saved browser link.

The web help contains older OS details, so check the current store requirement before relying on a specific version number. Confirm the selected programme and language information in the current app rather than infer accessibility features from the archive’s age or an English menu.

Distinguish cancellation from deleting the account

The help warns that deleting an account removes data and can terminate the subscription immediately, with separate store-subscription steps where applicable. Ordinary non-renewal and permanent account deletion are therefore different actions. Save needed invoices before a destructive account change.

For a billing question, identify the direct or partner product on the receipt and use that route’s settings. For a playback question, state the title, device and whether it is streaming or a mobile download. These details give support the correct product and viewing mode.

Questions about this guide

INA’s help says the Prime Video and direct accounts are separate.

Does madelen contain every item held in the INA archive?
