 I'm not surprised that the me of 10 years ago would have been very surprised. The city of Avignon is a perfect example of the kind of place where Marine Le Pen's new-look National Front is making inroads into French politics. Everyone knew that the National Front would do well, but no one thought it would do this well. When the votes were counted, the far-right candidate... The me of 20 years ago would have been absolutely flabbergasted.
