Voting for the first round of France's presidential election starts this weekend. President Macron and the far-right candidate Marine Le Pen are firm favourites among the twelve candidates to reach the final run-off vote in two weeks' time. Martha Kearney presented Today from Paris ahead of the first round of that vote. She reported from Rennes where President Macron received significant support in his very first election and our Paris correspondent Hugh Schofield reported from Perpignan, where Marine Le Pen has traditionally found support.
