Ambassador of France Mr Maurice Gourdault-Montagne hosted a party at his Residence to launch French Radio London (FRL), which began broadcasting at midday on 17 November. Attended by the leading lights of London’s French business fraternity as well as many Francophile supporters, FRL’s CEO, Pascal Grierson, said: ‘We are enormously grateful to the Ambassador for his generosity and his support for FRL. Being the unique new French voice for London, I guarantee FRL will offer something for everyone’. FRL has already secured interviews with Ingrid Bétancourt, Rwanda genocide survivor Leah Chishugi and many more.
