With 58.54% of the vote at the national level, Emmanuel Macron was re-elected this Sunday in the second round of the presidential election.
If we look at the details of the vote, municipality by municipality, what emerges is not a map of France cut in two by a visible geographical "separation", but a map of France in two colors, confirming the trends already perceptible in the first round. : the Head of State won in the big cities, and continues to massively seduce the west of the country, while Marine Le Pen, always stronger in the East and around the Mediterranean, has often conquered the more popular and rural, including in the southwest of the country.

In the Bouches-du-Rhône, to take another example, Marine Le Pen wins in a large number of municipalities, but the conurbations of Marseille and Aix have largely voted Macron.
