Talking France

Has Uber changed France and will smoking ever be banned on café terraces?


Listen Later

This week we'll explain the ongoing and far-from-brotherly dispute behind the different kinds of taxi drivers in France and whether they'll ever declare peace with each other.


We'll examine why France's efforts to clean up the air in its polluted cities might be about to go up in smoke and explain France's new rules on smoking outdoors - and how they will impact both smokers and non-smokers.


And we'll explain the tricky rules around remote working in France with the help of new information sent to us from French tax authorities.


And stay to the end to find out whether French drivers behave better on the roads than their counterparts across Europe and we'll have a handy tip for what to do when you are being tailgated in France.


Host Ben McPartland is joined at the wheel by our team of rogue drivers, Editor Emma Pearson, journalist Gen Mansfield and politics and driving expert John Lichfield.
