Paris is probably the most pro-Royal, followed by the mid-sized cities.

Paris is probably the most pro-Royal, followed by the mid-sized cities.

Actually, Paris was 35% Sarko, 32% Royal.

North and East of France prefers Sarko, South and West of France Royal. Some "departments" (provinces?) near France-Spain border had Royal first and Sarko third (behind Bayrou) and near German and Swiss borders it was opposite (Sarko first, Royal third).

There doesn't seem to be a difference between cities and countryside, except that minor candidates (other than Sarko, Royal, Bayrou) have much worse numbers in bigger cities.

[Cincinna]

Paris has always been one of the most conservative regions in France. Sarko also won in almost the regions surrounding Paris.
