Hank LedgerLola Cruz is on location in Paris.
Lola CruzI'm standing on a Paris street corner this afternoon, and behind me a line for the bakery runs past three shops.
Lola CruzThe New York Times says Macron arrived promising to revive France, and he is leaving a tense country near the edge of a budget cliff.
Lola CruzI've stopped a man with a baguette under his arm. Sir, how does the country feel right now?
Luc BernadinLike a restaurant where the bill arrives before the food. I only came for the bread, and even the bread is making me nervous.
Lola CruzAnd what is your plan for the crisis?
Luc BernadinBuy two baguettes. One for now, one for the crisis.
Hank LedgerTwo baguettes. That is the most specific budget plan we've heard all week.
