CNews, controlled by billionaire business magnate Vincent Bolloré, provides 24-hour national and global news coverage and is the second most watched news network in France, after BFMTV.

French start-ups are relieved following the results of a snap legislative election called by president Emmanuel Macron last month but remain wary about how the political shake-up will impact the striving sector.
