And we're also taking a look at France's unofficial first lady Brigitte Macron, and why there is more to her than the - undeniably shocking - story of how she met her husband.
And of course - football. More specifically, why the France v Morocco match was more than just a game.
- OPINION - French, Moroccan or both? In truth, it’s more complicated than politicians will admit
- Celebrations and clashes after France make World Cup final
We're chatting to some Paris café owners about the battle of the laptops - are they right to ban laptops from cafés or is this just a continuation of a long-established tradition of Parisians working in cafés?
We're also talking Speedos - why they are compulsory in French municipal pools and why Ben was ejected from his local pool.
And as ever we'll be sharing our tips to make life in France easier and more fun.
