Dates have officially been set for France's 2027 presidential election. With less than a year to go, the country is already gearing up for Emmanuel Macron's successor. FRANCE 24 English and French teamed up to meet voters in the run-up to the crucial poll.
Our reporters visited Châteaudun, a town of 13,000 inhabitants that has mirrored the national vote in every French presidential election for over 20 years. There, they met Antoine, a high-school maths teacher; Stéphanie, who cares for children in foster care; and Gilbert, a retiree who helps migrants learn to speak French.
For them, politics is not a taboo subject, even in front of our camera. For now, they are undecided voters, but we will see how their opinions evolve as campaigning heats up.
