"Host Ben McPartland is joined by editor Emma Pearson, journalist Genevieve Mansfield and politics expert John Lichfield to discuss everything happening in France this week. The team starts off with the latest on France's September strike calendar, which is quickly filling up as unions call for walk-outs across sectors. We also discuss the Bloquons Tout mobilisation called by a mysterious online collective, and how it could lead to widespread disruption in France on September 10th."
"As one Brittany town institutes a ban on people buying property to be used as a second home, we look into whether this might be the start of a nationwide trend, as French towns in tourist areas reckon with housing shortages. On the topic of home ownership, The Local France dispels some myths you may have heard about the ease of buying a French home for just one euro,"
France's September strike calendar is rapidly filling as unions call for walk-outs across multiple sectors, increasing the risk of disruption. An online collective called Bloquons Tout has mobilised for September 10th and could cause widespread disruption if actions materialise. One Brittany town has instituted a ban on purchases intended for second homes to address tourism-driven housing shortages, which may signal a possible wider trend. Common myths about buying French homes for one euro are debunked and guidance is provided on regions with comparatively more affordable property options. Coverage concludes with a lighthearted result identifying France's smelliest cheese.
