This week we'll find out why pensioners are to blame for all of France's problems, well not quite, but they are perhaps to blame for all the new prime minister's troubles.

We'll also examine some major travel changes for south west France at a time that could spell both bad and good news for residents there.

We'll get to the bottom of a new driving law in France that's finally come into force this week and look at whether days are numbered for France's tourist information centres as the last one in Paris shuts up shop.

We'll also explain why your carte vitale health card might have stopped working and what you can do about it if it does get refused.
