by Armen GEORGIANFebruary 27, 2026
France is a poor performer when it comes to cohesion in Europe and is marked by growing regional inequalities, despite being allocated a whopping €18 billion in EU cohesion funding for 2021-2027. Numerous regions risk falling into a "development trap": after a period of growth, they stagnate or even decline, having invested in sectors with little long-term potential. In this second part of the show examing EU cohesion policy, we're in the central French department of the Creuse.
