Among the words on everyone’s lips this week in France are "petrol" and "diesel". Yes, fuel prices have reached record-high levels in France. We’ll get the latest on what the government is doing, where the shortages are and whether the crisis could lead to social unrest and even the return of les Gilets Jaunes - remember them? They could be back.
We’ll also run you through the key numbers of the Pope’s historic visit to Paris this weekend, but should he be allowed to say Mass on the Champs-Élysées in secular France?
We’ve got a great interview with a civil liberties expert to hear about the potential dangers posed by Marine Le Pen and her party, and we’ll look at whether competition on the rails in France will bring down the prices of train tickets - including on the Eurostar.
And we explain how to use capital letters in French - it’s not as obvious as you think.
