Description

This week, we focus on a stereotype about France: that of it being a country on strike all the time. The joke goes that striking, "faire grêve", is a national sport. While it's certainly an important part of French history, are the French really world striking champions or is it just a cliché? And what do the French themselves think about this reputation? Find out in this episode of French Connections.
