This week we hear about how the unpopular President Emmanuel Macron plans to box himself out of a corner into the centre of the ring and if he’s actually going to hold any of his much talked about referendums.
We’ll also find out about France’s urban rodeos and why they are so popular but also so dangerous.
We’ll hear why the scandalous Dreyfus affair is such a key moment in French history, and why the impact is still being felt today.
We’ll explain why we shouldn’t complain too much about all the bureaucracy in France and the little known rules around what you can bring on the Paris Metro - plants, dogs, suitcases… we’ve cleared it all for you so you don’t get fined.
Host Ben McPartland is joined by the team at The Local France Emma Pearson, Gen Mansfield and John Lichfield.
