As we recorded this episode, France is baking under a record-breaking May heatwave that has sadly proved deadly - at least seven people having died in incidents linked to the hot weather. We’ll get the latest on the weather and find out if it’s a sign that summer will be insufferable in France this year.
In this week’s show we’ll also hear about how France’s most iconic car is making a comeback and find out why owning a car perhaps isn’t really a necessity anymore if you live in France.
And we’ll get the lowdown on what’s been a mixed week for some of France’s presidential hopefuls.
And we’ll help you express yourself in French when you want to complain about the heat.
Host Ben McPartland is joined by the team at The Local France Emma Pearson, Emma Albright and our politics expert John Lichfield, plus special guest Katy Wright who chimes in from Brittany.
