Le Pen's 'vile' election pledge and why French cheese could lose its taste

This week we look ahead to the 2027 presidential election which is edging closer. A new poll this week suggested there's only one winner, but could Marine Le Pen trip herself up before she gets over the line?

We'll hear about her latest effort to win voters which has been described as "vile" by some and "populist grandstanding by others".

We'll also find out whether the locals in Brittany, Normandy and other regions of France really do hate Parisians - and why might that be?

Plus we'll bring you a warning over why your French cheese could taste a little different this autumn.
