The Talking France team is back with a jam-packed final episode of the season with the latest on France's political crisis and whether France is headed for a chaotic summer, between a parliament that cannot govern and the Paris Olympics.

Host Ben McPartland is joined by The Local France's Emma Pearson, Genevieve Mansfield and John Lichfield to discuss the aftermath of France's parliamentary elections in France, as well as what is in store for this summer.

We start off this week by giving you all of the latest about the ongoing political crisis, with the new configuration of the Assemblée Nationale, the three possible outcomes for France's parliament in the months to come and how long the current impasse may last.

The Talking France group also discusses regional differences in how people voted in France, from Brittany in the west to the Riviera.

We also bring listeners through the manifesto of the left-wing coalition Nouveau Front Populaire, who now holds the largest bloc in parliament.

Looking ahead to the rest of the summer, we discuss expectations for the Paris 2024 Olympic Games, weather and how our hosts will spend their holidays. 

We're now off on our summer holidays and the podcast will return in September - in the meantime you can find our entire back catalogue HERE.
