Ah, she's brilliant. Miss, I finally got plans out the group chat. We get it. Four votes for a festival,

three for a city break. It's hard to adhere to everyone's needs. There's Betty with her oversized

tent. Sarah and her six foot eight boyfriend.

All right.

Roger Junior and his dog, Roger Senior.

And don't get us started on Mel.

But, like a marriage counselor, she's the one keeping things together.

All aboard Miss I finally got plans out the group chat. Keep everyone's plans alive when you

travel with us. P, and O'Ferees, there is another way. This is a CBSI on the world. I'm John Bachelor to the south of France to Paradise

to Simon Constable, writing for the Wall Street Journal and Barons and other

distinguished publications. However, there's been an election in France, there's been

an election in Simon's home country, the United Kingdom. We begin however with the important stuff, the climate.

Simon a very good day to you. It's hot, it's humid, and it's sunny in New England.

How say you in the south of France? Good evening to you.

Good evening to you, John. It is hot, a little bit humid, and very sunny and the crops are being brought in now the wheat crop being shaved off the land

yesterday by combine harvesters. It was quite an interesting thing to watch. Lovely day.

Today, yesterday, and presumably tomorrow.

And the farmers are joyful, the crop is coming in, and it's no longer raining.

They can get it in the field in August.

However, there's been an election.

And then there was a second election.

As I understand, we're watching tactical voting in France.
