We then discuss the effects of the war in Iran on France, from food prices to roadblocks, and what the government can do about the situation.
With France’s local elections in the past, it’s time to focus on the future – the 2027 presidential election. We talk about potential candidates and who can be expected to win. We also look at what the situation could look like for immigrants in France under a far-right president.
In other news, Celine Dion has officially announced her return to the stage in Paris after weeks of teasing and mysterious billboards popping up in the streets of the capital. But why do the French love her so much?
And finally, we finish off by talking about all the different ways of saying hello in French, in formal and less formal contexts.
