MONSIEUR OR MADAME LE PRÉSIDENT?

It’s been impossible to move today without hearing something about the results of the first round of the presidential elections, and the forthcoming duel between the Left and Right of French politics, and the massive 85% turnout in voting. So, there are two weeks of fierce campaigning before the final election on 6th May. Intriguingly, I recently browsed through a book about ‘les prétendants 2007’ which vitally omitted an important chapter: on Ségolène Royal (yet funnily enough included a chapter on her partner). Anyway, the official result will be announced on 10th May.
