Episode Description

You'll be glad to know things have become just a little clearer since last week when it comes to what is going on in France. Just a little.


We have a new government, we kind of have a new prime minister, we've had a major retreat by the French president Emmanuel Macron, and we have a crucial few weeks ahead of us in France, during which, I don't think it's an exaggeration to say,  the future of the country is at stake.


We'll bring you all the latest of course on the chaos and crisis in French politics.


And we'll find out why thousands of Parisians have been sent text messages warning them of a catastrophic flood and look at the latest battle to protect the treasured French cheese Camembert.


And we'll give you the rundown on the best places in France to see incredible street art. It's not the Louvre of course.


Host Ben McPartland is joined once again by The Local France's Emma Pearson, Gen Mansfield and John Lichfield.
