France's news in English, and what a day in France means for you. For expats, visitors, second-home owners and anyone who loves France.

NOT A GOVERNMENT APP: France News is independent. It does not represent the French government or any government agency and is not affiliated with them. Every source is listed under SOURCES, with its link.

NEWS
By topic (politics, strikes and protests, living in France, the economy, football, rugby, cycling, tennis, culture and food, travel and more) and by city, from Paris to Corsica. Follow what matters: a notification at most once a day each, never at night. A lock marks stories that may ask you to subscribe.

TODAY IN FRANCE
For your city: Météo-France's vigilance for your department (with an alert on orange or red, or any level you choose), the weather and the next two hours' rain, a strike watch (trains, the Paris métro, flights, schools), whose fête it is, what changes this month, the euro, and the next long weekend ("faire le pont").

BONNE FÊTE
Whose fête (name day) it is, any name's day, and reminders for your people.

THE FRENCH CALENDAR
Public holidays, school holidays for your zone, the sales, clock changes, tax dates, the winter truce and traditions, with reminders.

LEARN FRENCH
A French word a day with how to say it, and "France explained": tap 49.3, the SMIC or the préfecture under a headline.
