"It was the best of times, it was the worst of times - or at least the best and worst of France, with the death of an extraordinary 100-year-old woman who dedicated her life to activism, and an ex-president who seems to have devoted himself to collecting criminal convictions."
"This, via some cave art and French grammar pedantry, is what we have been talking about in France this week."
France experienced contrasting developments: national mourning over the death of an extraordinary 100-year-old woman who dedicated her life to activism, and high-profile legal troubles facing an ex-president whose record reads like a series of criminal convictions. Cultural topics also featured, including cave art and debates over French grammar pedantry. The juxtaposition of dignified activism and political scandal reflected wider tensions in public life. Attention to heritage and language alongside legal accountability underscored diverse public concerns. These events combined to produce a mixture of celebration, criticism, and debate across French society this week.
