"Host Ben McPartland is joined by The Local France's Emma Pearson, John Lichfield, and Emma Albright.

"Following the news that a French landlord was handed jail time for renting out a tiny, mouldy and windowless apartment in Marseille, we take look at the rules around flat renting, and if they are being respected (or not). We're entering peak ski season, and after the death of six people due to avalanches this past weekend, we talk about the dangers of off-piste skiing, and how safe the French Alps are for winter sports."
Farmer protests continued across France, highlighting tensions over agricultural policy and rural livelihoods. Marine Le Pen faced an appeal that kept politics in focus. Some museums introduced controversial price hikes for visitors from outside the EU, prompting debate about access and tourism. A Marseille landlord received jail time for renting a tiny, mouldy, windowless apartment, raising questions about enforcement of housing standards. Six people died in avalanches during peak ski season, underscoring off-piste dangers and safety concerns in the French Alps. Calls urged President Emmanuel Macron to take a firmer stance toward the United States by channeling Charles De Gaulle’s legacy. Typical French expressions for describing cold were presented.
