The results of the second round of municipal elections in France’s major cities on Sunday will be eagerly awaited, with polls in Marseille, Lyon, Toulouse, Strasbourg and Bordeaux suggesting a very lively evening.

Around 30,000 mayors have already won their seats during the first round of elections on March 5 by garnering an outright majority, but in most of France’s major cities the final result is not a foregone conclusion. On June 28, voters in Paris, Marseille and Lyon, in particular, will choose who will run their cities for the next six years.
