The essential
- The electoral billboards have flourished in all the cities of France, just eleven short days before the first round of the presidential election.
- Outgoing President Emmanuel Macron still has a comfortable mattress in the first round in the polls, but may be somewhat wary of Marine Le Pen’s progress.

- On the other hand, the LR candidate must do without the support of Nicolas Sarkozy, who according to our information declined his invitation to the Versailles meeting, scheduled for this Sunday.
