This week we look ahead to winter in France, not the weather or Christmas, but the likelihood of major strikes causing disruption across the country. French farmers, rail unions and pilots have all announced protests and industrial action over the days and weeks ahead. Just how bad could it get?


We also explain why Emmanuel Macron might just have his mojo back thanks to Donald Trump but will he be able to do anything with it in the time he has left as president?


And we find out why France has a gambling problem when it comes to the horses and whether the government really could strip us all of one of our treasured public holidays?


And we explain whether it’s true that one of the many benefits of being in France when you’re elderly is that you can’t be evicted.


Im Ben McPartland your host and I'll be joined by The Local France's Emma Pearson, Gen Mansfield and politics expert John Lichfield.
