What's Macron really up to, French private schools explained and are doggy bags ok in France?

In this week's episode we look at what's ahead for the next three years of Emmanuel Macron's presidency given that he has a new prime minister and a new government in place. We also find out where France's most expensive autoroutes are, explore the part of the country the French dream of moving to and also explain the key differences between public and private schools in France. And the big question we ask this week is whether it's really OK to ask for a doggy bag in a French restaurant.

Host Ben McPartland is joined by the three talking heads of Talking France, Emma Pearson, Gen Mansfield and politics expert John Lichfield.
