About this listen

This week we'll look at whether the French government will survive long enough to enjoy the weekend and find out what the French make of all this budget bedlam that's been going on far too long, especially when the world seems to be lurching towards a crisis.


And speaking of that crisis, we'll look ahead to where these mounting tensions between France, Europe and Donald Trump will lead too, and we'll hear from our American listeners in France as to how they are impacted by it all.


We'll also look at how bad a plague hazing is at French universities and get a view on how different the drinking cultures is between French and British students.


And are open fires in cosy homes in rural France soon to be a thing of the past?


And we'll explain some of the weird and wacky noises you'll hear the French make.


Host Ben McPartland is joined this week by the two Emmas : Pearson and Albright and the one John: Lichfield that is.
