We begin with France's new strike law - will it truly make last-minute flight cancellations a thing of the past? Does it, as some unions claim, impinge on the right to strike? And who is actually covered by France's constitutional protection of striking?

We're looking at taboo topics in France - from money to sex and religion, there are some topics that it's best to avoid with French friends, neighbors or colleagues.
