In this episode of Talking France we'll be looking at the upcoming parliamentary elections - which are struggling to attract interest of voters despite being crucial for what happens over the next five years - French inheritance law, celebrity love affairs and France's best music festival.

Ben McPartland is joined by France editor Emma Pearson, reporter Genevieve Mansfield and veteran political correspondent John Lichfield to examine the big news stories and the talking points from France this week.

Sunday marks the first round of voting in the parliamentary elections. We're looking at why these are important, the faces to look out for and of course trying to weigh up what will happen.

We also shine a light on the big talking points in France this week - from financial aid with the cost of living crisis to a celebrity wedding and one of France's least known regional languages.

As ever we're answering questions from readers - this week it's one for property owners, what are the rules around inheritance in France?

And we're talking a look at what is on the horizon in France, including one of the best festivals of the year - the Fête de la musique.
