Are the French quitting meat and will fuel blockades spark a winter of discontent in France?

In this week's episode we'll discuss the ongoing and worsening fuel crisis in the country.


With drivers having to queue for hours to fill up their cars and the French government taking the bold step of forcing strikers back to work tensions are high. Are we heading for a winter of discontent?


We'll also hear about the changing eating habits of the French.


In the country of Boeuf Bourguignon and steak frites is meat now becoming too hard to digest for a younger, more environmentally conscious generation?


We'll hear about how one of France's most famous Christmas markets is cracking down on tacky products - including, believe it or not Champagne.


And the battle against the influence of English words in the French language goes on. Are the guardians of la langue francais right to protect the language of Moliere against the language of Shakespeare and the Spice Girls? Or is it futile?


Joining me will be The Local France's editor Emma Pearson, journalist Gen Mansfield and French politics expert John Lichfield.
