After a nice mess, the succession of Marc Fauvelle is officially recorded. From August 28, it is therefore Jérôme Chapuis who will inherit the post of morning worker at France Info. The journalist will be in charge of the slice from Monday to Thursday. And he will co-present the “8.30 franceinfo” alongside Salhia Brakhlia. At the helm for nearly five years of the morning of France Info, Marc Fauvelle, meanwhile, has been appointed director of information for France Inter.

Before management suddenly did an about-face. Furious, the former morning star of France Inter, who still hosted a Sunday program on France Culture, had slammed the door with a bang.
