In the vineyards of France's Anjou region, in the Loire Valley, a ritual takes place every year at the end of the summer. At harvest time, dozens of brave seasonal workers come from far and wide to pick the ripe grapes. Some of them have been regulars for several years and their experience is invaluable to the newcomers. The grape picking is done by hand and in a good atmosphere, but has its own rules. Once collected, the harvest heads to the winery. FRANCE 24 takes a closer look. http://dlvr.it/Sy9sXP

One year on from the historic wildfires that decimated the woodlands of Gironde in south-western France, the bark beetle is adding insult to injury. Bark beetle larvae usually feed off the sap of dead trees, but after the fires left so many trees weakened, it's been a field day for the insect, which is now proliferating at an alarming rate. It's now a race against time to save what can be saved – to evacuate dead or infected trees from the area, in the hope of protecting their neighbours. The Down to Earth team reports. http://dlvr.it/Sy2bD4

With less than a year to go until France hosts the 2024 Olympic Games, thousands of job vacancies remain unfilled, including those for security personnel. The country's public employment agency, Pôle Emploi, has subsequently embarked on an ambitious programme to recruit 15,000 security officers. But it is being accused of summoning job seekers without properly considering their profiles. Our France 2 colleagues report, with FRANCE 24's Guillaume Gougeon. http://dlvr.it/Sxyrv2

After last week's murder of French high school literature teacher Dominique Bernard by a radicalised former pupil, many teachers are concerned about the rise in violations of France's secular laws in schools.

In the skyline of France's Provence region, Mont Ventoux culminates at 1,909 metres. Each year, its steep slopes are the setting for an epic stage of the Tour de France cyling race.
