At the foot of the Eiffel Tower, the announcement of the result melted into a deafening roar. French and EU flags, frantically waved by the crowd, partly obscured the giant screens displaying Emmanuel Macron’s win.
Chants of “Macron, President” merged into the French national anthem, the Marseillaise, as supporters hugged and kissed in celebration. One couple danced with their infant, held high above his father’s head.
Now the speakers are blaring out the song “One More Time” as the sun begins to set behind the Eiffel Tower. As news of Macron’s win sinks in, the energy and enthusiasm that accompanied his win five years ago has been replaced this time by relief.
Supporters here say he will have his work cut out to bring the country together after this election; but they’re relieved that, after the tense campaign and sometimes tight predictions, his far-right rival still hasn’t managed to catch him.
