We also hear about another effort by French authorities to keep the air clean, via low-emission zones. Recently, France's parliament voted to get rid of these low-emission zones, but the Talking France team discusses the obstacles in the way of that coming to fruition.
And after receiving guidance from French tax authorities, we wade into the notoriously tricky topic of remote working in France.
Stick around until the end to hear about whether or not French drivers deserve their negative reputation, plus a handy tip for what to do when you are being tailgated in France.

French plan for 'State of New Caledonia' rejected by independence bloc
The main pro-independence coalition in the French overseas territory of New Caledonia has rejected a Paris-brokered deal to establish the Pacific archipelago as a new state. France last month announced a sweeping, hard-fought agreement aimed at granting more autonomy to New Caledonia, but stopping short of the independence sought by many indigenous Kanaks. The accord proposes the creation of a "State of New Caledonia" that would remain French and be enshrined in France's constitution. Under the plan, the archipelago's citizens would hold both French and Caledonian nationalities, instead of just the former. The agreement was reached after 10 days of negotiations in Paris involving representatives of the French government and those on both sides of the territory's independence debate, including the Kanak Socialist National Liberation Front (FLNKS). However, the FLNKS, New Caledonia's leading pro-independence alliance, this week said its extraordinary congress had voted to reject the deal outright. "The FLNKS formally rejects the Bougival draft agreement because it is incompatible with the foundations and achievements of our struggle," Dominique Fochi, a member of the coalition, said at a press conference on Wednesday. Another FLNKS member, Marie-Pierre Goyetche, said the bloc had launched a "peaceful appeal to our supporters to say stop to the state if it intends to force this through." The lack of a provision for a new independence referendum, a key demand for many indigenous Kanak campaigners, was the deal-breaker, local media reported. France's Minister for Overseas Territories Manuel Valls said in a Facebook post that he would travel to New Caledonia next week in a bid to salvage the "historic compromise". Recent unrest New Caledonia was hit by mass riots in May 2024, triggered by French government plans to give thousands of non-indigenous long-term residents voting rights. The unrest resulted in the death of at least 14 people and caused billions of euros worth of damage. Currently, only Kanaks and those who arrived from France before 1998 can cast their ballots in elections. However, since 1998 a further 40,000 French citizens have moved to the overseas territory of New Caledonia. France held three referendums in New Caledonia on independence between 2018 and 2021 as part of an agreement known as the Noumea Accords that followed a 1988 peace deal that ended violence between rival factions. A majority of voters chose to remain part of France instead of backing independence. The Kanaks rejected the results of 2021 referendum, which they boycotted because it was held at the height of the COVID-19 pandemic that severely affected their community. According to the 2019 census, 32.5% of indigenous Kanaks, who make up 41% of the region's total population, live in poverty. There have been calls to diversify New Caledonia's indebted economy, which depends heavily on nickel mining, and ultimately make it less reliant on the French mainland.

Hunting microplastics: French scientists sound the alarm on plastic pollution
The Mediterranean is the sixth largest accumulation zone for marine litter. It holds only 1% of the world's waters but concentrates 7% of all global microplastics. This is why French scientists from the Exploration Bleue project have come off the coast of Toulon to study the impact of microplastic pollution in the Mediterranean Sea. Their expeditions are led by the NGO Expédition 7ᵉ Continent's 27-metre sailing vessel. 'The Mediterranean is an enclosed sea with a dense population. All human activity ends up in the sea. We study the chemical pollutants carried by plastics. What we already know is that all of them contain chemical pollution,' explains Alexandra Ter-Halle, Director of Research at the French National Centre for Scientific Research (CNRS) and scientific coordinator of the expedition. The research involves towing two trawls for one hour to collect microplastic samples. These will then be sorted in the laboratories participating in the project. Alexandra has been studying the chemical nature of pollutants associated with plastics for years at the University of Toulouse. 'We measure and weigh microplastics; we analyse their composition. We know that over 16,000 chemical substances are used to make plastics — 4,000 of them are already classified as hazardous.' When marine animals are exposed to microplastics, chemical substances can transfer into their bodies. Since many of these are endocrine disruptors, they impact the animals' health. The effects on humans are not yet fully understood, as Alexandra explains: 'We know that endocrine disruptors affect the entire hormonal system in our bodies. They impact fertility and the development of cancer, but we still have many questions about this plastic pollution.' Science is only just beginning to understand how dangerous microplastics can be for ecosystems and human health. We eat, breathe and drink them — but there's still much we don't know. For micro- and nanoplastics, which are often smaller than a thousandth of a millimetre, we lack precise tools to measure them or fully grasp their effects, scientists say. The European Commission's Zero Pollution Action Plan aims to cut microplastics by 30% by 2030. Jean-François Ghiglione, a marine microbiologist and research director at CNRS, led an unprecedented sampling campaign across nine major European rivers in 2019. He found microplastics everywhere in 'alarming' concentrations. 'Europe is quite advanced in this area,' explains Ghiglione. 'We used to have massive plastic pollution, mainly from packaging and single-use plastics. That was the European Union's initial target. Now, we're hoping to see a shift in how plastic is perceived.' So far, plastic has been viewed as waste, and efforts have focused on waste management. Ghiglione hopes the EU will drive a push for a drastic reduction in plastic production, and also come out with a list of chemical substances to be banned from use in plastics. Europe has made progress in limiting microplastics, but Ghiglione and the scientific community are calling for more. With negotiations for a global treaty still underway, Europe and the international community face a choice: continue managing pollution, or tackle the problem at its root.

'Perfect summer' for mosquitoes in Paris region
Mosquitoes are a common, if annoying, feature of summer in France - but this year they are particularly numerous in the Île-de-France region in northern France. Scientists say that the relatively cool, damp July that Paris and the surrounding areas saw created a perfect breeding ground for the irritating pests, with the August heatwave adding good flying conditions. The conditions are especially good for tiger mosquitoes - a relatively recent import, originally found in Asia, which can spread diseases including dengue fever, zika and chikungunya. Advertisement "The only difference this year compared to previous years is the various periods of rain in July. This has caused several pockets of water to fill up in urban areas," Johan Hemminki, a researcher at the Île-de-France Regional Biodiversity Agency, told French newspaper Le Parisien . Georges Jakerian, operations manager for the regional mosquito control agency Agence régionale de démoustication , said: "Add that July rain to the current heat, and you have the perfect combination for a resurgence of tiger mosquitoes." Tiger mosquitoes, distinguished by their black and white striped bodies, are active during the day, unlike the more common mosquitoes, which tend to come out at night. READ ALSO : How to prevent the spread of tiger mosquitoes in France Originally found in Asia, warming temperatures mean they are increasingly common in Europe and over the last decade or so, have gradually moved north through France. They are now regularly found in almost all of the country , apart from some areas along the Channel coast. They are believed to be behind the rise in cases of chikungunya fever among people who have not travelled to the regions where the disease is endemic.
