New Orleans Mayor Cantrell meets Macron, royals in France

Mayor LaToya Cantrell is meeting with royals and President Emmanuel Macron during her visit to France for a conference.

Why it matters: Her trip has drawn some criticism while she's locked in a battle with the City Council over her travels.

Zoom in: Cantrell is suing the council over a travel ban that came after she backed out of a $90 million school settlement. The administration cited financial troubles as a reason.

• A judge temporarily put the travel ban on hold.
• With no settlement, the Orleans Parish School Board's lawsuit is back in court. The trial was supposed to start this week, but a judge postponed it at the city's request, WWL reports.
