This is England has always had a strong link with press cartoons and they are again presenting two exhibitions this year. One of cartoons of the British by the French and vice versa, and veteran Guardian cartoonist Steve Bell is back with an exhibition of his caricatures of French Presidents from Valéry Giscard d'Estaing to Emmanuel Macron.
