Host Ben McPartland is joined by The Local France's Emma Pearson and John Lichfield, with a special contribution from Genvieve Mansfield, for a look at all the latest news and talking points from France.
Starting with the Louvre which has had another bad week - a water leak, a strike and a ticket hike for non-EU visitors, plus apparently being the word most often mispronounced by Americans.

France's budget saga continues, but this week the prime minister scored an important victory - so what happens next, will he finally manage to get the whole budget passed and what, if anything, do this week's events tell us about the 2027 elections?
France's interior minister is furious about a board game which depicts a 'racist cop', so we're looking at the law around discussing the police and whether French law enforcement really do have a problem with racist attitudes and behaviour.
And dual nationals seem to be on the radar of politicians in the UK and the US - so what about France?
Finally, Genevieve talks to a French influencer who is turning the American fascination with all things France-related into a business opportunity.
