About this listen

On the agenda this week, we’ll find out if anyone can beat likely far-right candidate Jordan Bardella to be the next president of France. He’s flying in the polls, he’s flying on tiktok, but will he fly into the Elysee?


We’ll also get the lowdown on private beaches in France. How come there are so many when all beaches are meant to be public?


And the government has the country’s sacred summer holidays in its sites. Could they finally be cut?


We’ll also hear about the downsides of benign bilingual French and English and why the French government is writing to young people to ask them to have more sex - and eat less meat.


Host Ben McPartland is joined by the team at The Local France Emma Pearson, Emma Albright and John Lichfield.
