Cancellation Request, [your account email]Send this template
Hi Pathé team, I'm writing to cancel the subscription on my account, [your account email]. Please treat this as formal notice of cancellation, effective from the end of the current billing period. Under Directive 2011/83/EU, I'm entitled to terminate this contract by notice through the same channel it was formed in. Please confirm by reply that the subscription has been cancelled and that no further charges will be taken. If your policy allows it, I'd also appreciate a pro-rata refund for the unused portion of the current period. Best, [your name]
Wait for confirmation
Wait 24 hours. If there's no response, send a polite one-line follow-up referencing the original request.

What happens to what you’ve already paid
Pathé lets you cancel CinéPass at any time from the month after signup, directly inside your Compte Pathé. New subscribers get a 14-day withdrawal (rétractation) right and can back out without giving a reason. If you paid the whole year upfront, the service abonnés can refund unused months prorata temporis from your resiliation date. Any bookings for showings after your end date will be automatically cancelled.
“Si vous ne pouvez pas résilier votre abonnement en vous rendant dans votre Compte Pathé, nous vous invitons à nous transmettre depuis votre Compte Pathé, rubrique Mon compte > Message > Poser une question, le formulaire de résiliation.”

Does Pathé charge a cancellation fee?
We found no cancellation fee in Pathé’s published terms. On a rolling plan you simply pay to the end of the current billing period and nothing after. If you’re inside a fixed minimum term, check your signup email for the end date, cancelling early is where fees usually hide. If you signed up online within the last 14 days, the EU Consumer Rights Directive gives you a cooling-off right to walk away, fee-free, for most digital subscriptions.
What doesn’t work for cancelling Pathé
Based on 4 sources, Reddit, app reviews, and direct testing. Skip these and save yourself the loop.
- ✕ Cancelling during the first month after signup via the self-service resiliation button, Pathé's own help article states you can only résilier 'à partir du mois suivant votre souscription', the option isn't available in month one.
- ✕ Cancelling while your account is currently suspended, Pathé states 'La résiliation de l'abonnement n'est pas possible pendant une période de suspension', you must reactivate first.
- ✕ Emailing generic Pathé mailboxes like service-commercial@pathe.fr, That address is for Pathé Business/B2B enquiries, not consumer CinéPass cancellations, you'll be redirected to the online form.
- ✕ Sending back your physical CinéPass card, Unnecessary, Pathé deactivates the card remotely once resiliation is processed.
- ✕ Suspending in the final month of your subscription hoping it counts as cancelling, Pathé blocks suspension in the last month of your contract; it will not substitute for a resiliation request.
Cancelled Pathé but still being charged?
Three common reasons, in order of likelihood:
- The cancellation didn’t actually complete. If you never received a written confirmation from Pathé, treat it as not cancelled. Email
reservation.geode@pathe.comreferencing your original request date and ask for written confirmation plus a refund of any charge taken since. - You cancelled in the wrong place. Subscriptions started through the App Store or Google Play bill through Apple or Google, cancelling on Pathé’s site doesn’t touch them. Check Settings → Subscriptions on iPhone, or Play Store → Payments & subscriptions on Android.
- Billing lag. A charge that was already in flight when you cancelled can still land a few days later. One trailing charge can be normal; two is not.
If they keep charging after a confirmed cancellation, that’s chargeback territory: dispute the charge with your bank citing “subscription cancelled, merchant continued billing”. The yoink app also flags this automatically, it keeps watching your inbox after a confirmed cancellation and alerts you if Pathé charges again.
How Pathé will try to keep you
Pathé may respond with a retention offer, a discount, a free month, or a downgrade to a cheaper tier. Don't engage with the counteroffer. Restate that you want a full cancellation and cite the consumer law again if they push back.
They’ll say: “Offer to suspend your subscription (up to 3 times per rolling 12 months, 30 days each) instead of cancelling”
You say: Please process a full résiliation, not a suspension. I understand suspension is limited to 30 days and reactivates automatically, that's not what I want. Under my Compte Pathé I am requesting termination effective the end of the current billing month.
They’ll say: “Pointing to the initial 6- or 12-month engagement period on legacy Le Pass Solo/Duo cards to refuse mid-term cancellation”
You say: Current CinéPass formulas are sold 'sans engagement' with monthly resiliation from the month following signup. If you consider my card still under a legacy engagement, please send the CGV clause you're relying on; otherwise process my resiliation under the current terms.
They’ll say: “Ignoring the online form and asking you to send a lettre recommandée to Montceau-les-Mines”
You say: The Pathé help centre lists the Compte Pathé online form (Thème 'Abonnement CinéPass', Sous-thème 'Résiliation') as the primary route. Please confirm my resiliation via that channel, a recommandé is not a legal requirement for a sans-engagement contract.
They’ll say: “Delaying past the 15th of the month so your cancellation only takes effect at the end of the next month”
You say: My request was submitted on [date] via the official form. Under Pathé's own policy, requests received before the 15th take effect at the end of the current month, please apply that timeline and refund any charge taken after.
Your rights when cancelling
The law where you live is the strongest hook, lead with it when you contact the company.
European Union
- Consumer Rights Directive 2011/83/EU14-day right of withdrawal across all EU states.
EU-wide statutory right to withdraw from any distance-sold contract within 14 days. Mirrored into local law in every member state. Pathé must honour it regardless of where they’re headquartered.
Worldwide
- Card-issuer chargebackYour bank can reverse the charge.
Visa, Mastercard, and Amex all run chargeback schemes, “goods/services not as described” or “subscription not cancelled” are valid reason codes everywhere they operate. Your bank handles the dispute; Pathé has ~45 days to defend.
Delete your Pathé account (not just cancel)
Cancelling stops the billing; deleting removes your account and personal data. Do them in that order, deleting an account with an active subscription can leave the billing running with no way to log in and stop it.
If there’s no delete option in Pathé’s account settings, email reservation.geode@pathe.com with the subject Account deletion request, [your account email] and ask for your account and personal data to be erased under GDPR Article 17, the right to erasure. They’re typically required to act on it, most companies complete erasure within about 30 days, and you should ask for written confirmation when it’s done.
