Up this week : It's been another bad week for the reputation of French politicians. We'll discuss why they are so naughty, and when I say naughty I mean corrupt, rather than bed hopping.
And we'll also bring you the good news that Paris and Charles de Gaulle airport will soon have a direct train link that's been centuries in the making. Although there's some bad news too given how much it's going to cost.
We'll find out why France has been so successful in creating high speed trains and not so good at local rail links, why the French name police are so powerful and whether or not foreigners in France should swear like a local.
Host Ben McPartland is joined by The Local France's mostly foulmouthed duo Emma Pearson and Gen Mansfield as well as the always elegantly spoken John Lichfield.
Extra reading:
- The French baby names banned by law
- 'It doesn't sound as vulgar': The verdict on swearing in French
- French ex-president Sarkozy stripped of Legion of Honour
- French ex-PM Fillon given suspended prison sentence over wife's fake job
- 'Rail golden age': French trains more popular than ever (despite strike threats)
