Her Pan Pal
Event planner Victoria (Mallory Jansen) can’t wait to attend and plan her best friend’s wedding in Paris. But when she finds out her Cameron, her ex is bringing a date, Victoria reconnects with her childhood French pen pal Jacques (Joshua Sasse).

And of course, we get to do plenty of sightseeing around Paris .
