79 days before the French presidential election, Éric Zemmour is in the Southeast, in Cannes, a right-wing city. Despite a soft patch in the polls, the far-right candidate multiplies the rallies from the National Rally to revive a dynamic. He went this morning to a market in Cannes, where he was well received.

It was the images that he lacked, selfies, a benevolent crowd: successful operation in the field at the Forville market in the center of Cannes.
While his rival Marine Le Pen describes him as the candidate of the big cities and television studios, Éric Zemmour overplays proximity, shopping bag in hand:
” I like going to the market, you see, it’s not a posture, I like it. In Paris, I do my shopping there all the time. You see, I bought clementines, I can tell you that I chose them and I like them. »
End of sequence well orchestrated. A municipal councilor from the National Gathering of the city of Le Cannet Eric Ravasco is waiting for him to share a glass of rosé: “ For this to go well, one day we will be together. »
Éric Zemmour will appear this evening alongside his new catches: three elected officials from the National Rally.
