From the show

A week in France

The world's most visited museum has revealed that French police have dismantled what they called a 'large-scale' ticket fraud network. Two museum employees have been arrested in conjunction with the alleged conspiracy. The embarrassment comes just months after a daylight heist saw robbers make off with tens of millions of euros worth of priceless Crown Jewels. We speak to Didier Rykner, art historian and Editor in Chief of 'La Tribune de l’Art'.

Also in this edition:

Health officials are sounding the alarm about potentially harmful chemicals making their way onto French plates. A French diplomat is under investigation after his name appeared more than 200 times in the latest release of the Epstein files. And the head of the agency that manages flood alerts in France says she's seeing one extreme weather record after another.
