From Our Own Correspondent: The FN's recipe for France

A Front National mayor explains why he wants more police and pot plants (and fewer foreign food stalls) in the town of Cogolin. But what are his views on the state of the nation?

As the Front National makes gains in France's regional elections, Gabriel Gatehouse meets one of the party's mayors in the small town of Cogolin, near the Cote d'Azur. Marc-Etienne Lansade explains why he wants more police and pot plants (and fewer foreign food stalls) on his patch - and some constituents seem to like what he's done so far. But what are his real views on the state of the nation?
