The Renaissance-era Villers-Cotterêts castle, in France's Picardy region, is now home to the first cultural site in the world dedicated to the French language, a project championed by President Emmanuel Macron.

We speak to Xavier North, Hassane Kassi Kouyaté and Barbara Cassin, co-curators of the museum.
