We're taking a look at the latest in the deadlocked French parliament and what the 2023 Budget means for your wallet, while John Lichfield looks back at a "bizarre" six months in French politics.
We're meeting the world's richest man - yes, he's a Frenchman - and the actress who seems to embody the spirit of the capital itself in the new series of Emily in Paris, as well as finding out why France has 12 time zones.
It's nearly Christmas so we're looking at French Christmas traditions - from food, drink and presents to gestures of solidarité and the annual political argument about Nativity scenes.
And of course we couldn't avoid talking about France's narrow defeat in the men's football World Cup - but why has president Emmanuel Macron been described as "offside"? And what was really going on with him and star striker Kylian Mbappé?
