Summary

On the agenda this week, we’ll find out if anyone can beat likely far-right candidate Jordan Bardella to be the next president of France. He’s flying in the polls, he’s flying on tiktok, but will he fly into the Elysee?


We’ll also get the lowdown on private beaches in France. How come there are so many when all beaches are meant to be public?


And the government has the country’s sacred summer holidays in its sites. Could they finally be cut?


We’ll also hear about the downsides of benign bilingual French and English and why the French government is writing to young people to ask them to have more sex - and eat less meat.


Host Ben McPartland is joined by the team at The Local France Emma Pearson, Emma Albright and John Lichfield.

I found this podcast by complete accident. I was looking for a French audiobook, but saw this on a list.
I’m intending to move to France imminently because it has been a soul-deep desire of mine for many years. I consume as much information about France and French life as possible until I get there, so this podcast was right up ma rue😊
Very easy to listen to, and informative on current affairs. Merci 👍❤️🇫🇷
