Christian Fraser visits a French village which has adopted its own currency - it's not the only one, 40 towns are planning similar schemes. So is this move away from the Euro a sign of growing frustration with President Hollande and the Eurozone project? Meanwhile in Nepal, Alex Court wonders what a day at the races can tell us about the politics of a country.
