Description

This week, we'll get the latest on the ongoing political crisis in France and President Emmanuel Macron's quest to find a government to run the country. Will he succeed in getting a Christmas truce?


We'll find out who the winners and losers are from the fact that France has no 2025 budget and look at who might be to blame for the messy end of year in French politics.


We'll find out what's so special about Paris' roof tops but why you really don't want to be living right under one. 


And we'll explore whether our personalities change when we speak French. Do we become more emotional or more likely to have an argument? 


And we'll compare how trains in France compare to rail services around Europe and whether they've become too expensive for many people.


Host Ben McPartland is joined by The Local's veritable locomotive Emma Pearson, Gen Mansfield and John Lichfield.
