Voters in France go to the polls on Sunday in the first round of the presidential election.
Emmanuel Macron is aiming to win a second term, but polls suggest a Marine Le Pen victory is within the margin of error.
Another far-right candidate Eric Zemmour is said to have given Le Pen a boost.
Le Pen has won over some traditional right-wing voters who once saw her as too extreme, and her party tainted with the toxic attitudes of its past.
