The French paper Le Figarosays the UK government's decision to give the Hinkley Point project the green light is "An eagerly awaited verdict, especially in France, on account of the industrial and financial stakes for EDF."
Another French daily, Le Monde, quotes a French presidential source as saying that "Theresa May called President Hollande last night to inform him of the British government's agreement" and that both leaders "welcomed this project, which demonstrates excellent Franco-British cooperation in the spheres of industry and energy".
