‘Le Startup’ is the magic word in France since Macron became a president. This week he opend the world's largest incubator, in the heart of Paris.
Both President Macron and Prime Minister Philippe held long speeches this week to unveil their programme.
One of France's most beloved women passed away, Simone Veil (89). Who was she and what is her legacy to the French society?

As a heatwave hits the country, we dive into the muddy waters of European politics,
and ask the question what Europe will look like under the new french president. Will Emmanuel Macron be a refreshing force, or will the warm relationship between Germany and France cool down once the UK leaves the union?

In their first week, the Government is already involved in two potential scandals. Once again the French media revealed some embarrassing details about two politicians, both close to Emmanuel Macron. The new President has promised to clean up his country's politics, so what will he do?
He is preparing a new law to ‘moralise' politics, and moralisation is our So French Word of this episode, brought to you by Maud Descamps.
Our special guest is comedian Paul Taylor. Just like us, he is fascinated by the French and turned his amazement into a successful Youtube Channel, What The Fuck France.
And a homophobic presenter may cost his channel many millions in advertising revenue.

France has a new president…but who is Emmanuel Macron really?
The French political landscape looks more like the battlefields at the end of the First World War. They're are casualties everywhere.
And…you may not yet have noticed…but l’amour is dead… The man who had the Parisians bump into love in every street corner has passed away.

And of course, Maud Descamps brings us a fresh French word of the day!
