Regions, city or countryside: geographical divides
The voting maps also show geographical fractures, according to regions and zones, more or less rural or urban.
The west votes more for Macron
The west of France voted more for Emmanuel Macron: the candidate president came first in Brittany, but also in Pays de la Loire, Center Val de Loire and New Aquitaine. He even won in Normandy, where he was overtaken by Marine Le Pen in 2017. Emmanuel Macron is also consolidating its roots in Auvergne Rhône-Alpes
Marine Le Pen very high on its historic lands
As in 2017, Marine Le Pen, the far-right candidate, came close to the grand slam in the first round in Provence-Alpes-Côte-d’Azur by winning five of the six departments, once again failing to win in the High mountains. They also obtain a high score in Occitania, in particular in the east of the region, near the Mediterranean. The National Rally candidate signs her best result in the Pyrénées-Orientales (32.7%), department where RN Louis Aliot conquered the town hall of Perpignan in 2020. Marine
Le Pen also totals impressive scores in Hauts-de-France. For example, she won 39% of the vote in Pas-de-Calais, where she is a deputy. The candidate of the RN is also essential in the Grand Est, and also in Corsica.
Jean-Luc Mélenchon in the lead in Île-de-France
With around 2,500 votes apart, Jean-Luc Mélenchon, with 30.24% of the votes, created a surprise and came very slightly ahead in Île-de-France, neck and neck with Emmanuel Macron, at 30, 19%. The outgoing president wins in Paris, with 35.33% of the vote, and in 13 out of 20 arrondissements. With the exception of the departments of Yvelines, Hauts-de-Seine and Paris won by Emmanuel Macron, the rebellious leader came in first place in the five other departments of the Paris region. Five years ago, Emmanuel Macron had largely imposed himself in the Paris region. Marine Le Pen comes third with 12.96% of the vote, a level slightly higher than her 2017 score.
