The perils of French lovers and Le Pen's plan for a 'foreigner tax'

This week we’ll bring you up to date with what some of the French presidential candidates want to do with us foreigners - whether tax us more for working here or just keep us out altogether.

We’ll also hear why the grand old Parti Socialiste won’t have a candidate in next year’s election for the first time since the start of the Fifth Republic in 1958.

We’ll get the latest on the high school student protests and whether the Gilets Jaunes are making a comeback on Saturday plus we’ll explain the pitfalls and even perils of moving to France to set up home with a French partner. Let’s face it , it doesn’t always work out as planned.

We’ll try and explain a huge cyberattack on French supermarkets this week that led to millions of euros of food being chucked away and just how to pronounce big brand names in French. No, the French don’t say Ikea, LinkedIn or Uggs.

Host Ben McPartland is joined for this episode by the usual suspects from The Local France Emma Pearson, Emma Albright and politics expert John Lichfield.
