Paris.

- Against Raphaël Glucksmann of the Parti socialiste-Place Publique, he wins 58% vs. 42%.

- Against the previous PM Edouard Philippe, he wins 53% vs. 47%.

Check the Princeton and Yale library fellowships! They're also close enough that you can go to New York State easily.

I fully agree! Most people don't know that the Green party holds power in almost every major city in France (or is in the leading coalition). The RN has just one.

Mayor is Green: Lyon, Strasbourg, Bordeaux, Besançon, Tours, Annecy, Grenoble and Poitiers.

In coalition: Paris & Marseille.
