Summary
Hey, it's not just the lighter side of France on this show – sometimes we tackle some more serious issues.
This time, for example, we talk to Annette Young who fronts the France 24 show "The 51 percent" – which is all about women shaping our world.
We talk about being a woman in France, the single mother-of -three Marine Le Pen, and the word Mademoiselle and whether it should be banished.
OK, OK, we also put Annette on the spot to name her favourite cafe and bar etc at the end.
