The franc (represented by the franc sign â‚£ or more commonly just "F") was a currency of France. Along with the Spanish peseta, it was also a de facto currency used in Andorra (which had no national currency with legal tender). Between 1360 and 1641, it was the name of coins worth 1 livre tournois and it remained in common parlance as a term for this amount of money. It was re-introduced (in decimal form) in 1795 and remained the national currency until the introduction of the euro in 1999 (for accounting purposes) and 2002 (coins and banknotes).

sogood.tv Heather Johnston, popular food and wine vlogger, visits the North Fork of Long Island (an up and coming US wine region) and pairs several bottles (Chardonnay, Gewurztraminer, and Cabernet Franc) from Peconic Bay and Corey Creek with two cheeses, St Andre triple cream (French) and Piabe (Italian).

In this episode, she travels to the Hamptons to recruit some family members to do a wine tasting comparing North Fork wines with their French counterparts. Pelligrini Rose and Cabernet Franc wines are compared to a Provence Rose and a Chinon, and a Bedell Chardonnay is matched to a Chablis, and the results are surprising.

To settle the strike, the government agreed to wage increases which pushed up costs and led to speculation against the French franc. At the time, the franc and other major currencies were under the Bretton Woods fixed exchange rate regime. By Nov. 1968, it appeared the franc would be devalued. The first news clip indicates a devaluation was certain. But a second one, a few days later, reports that President DeGaulle decided not to devalue. This is Part One. In Part Two, the devaluation occurs, delayed until August 1969.
