Le “Dry January” en France

About this episode

In this episode, Gaelle explores “Dry January” in France. This recent British tradition of completely cutting alcohol consumption during the first month of the year has found its way across the Channel and is trying to settle in France. But why does the French government refuse to officially support this initiative? And anyway, in a country famous for its many wines, champagnes and beers, could such an initiative work?
