welcome to bordeaux.s is my guest, ettian millian, a journalist of sud west, one of the biggest regional newspapers in franch. you were telling me the name of your city? bordeaux is known as a sleeping beauty. it is pretty quiet this morning! also, i'm interested to get into what the atmosphere was like last night in this city when it came through that emmanuel macron was the next president of france. well, it was very beautiful, but it was very sleepy indeed. that was surprising. we had an election, a big turnout — nearly 75% of people went to vote — but, in the street, nothing. nobody. it was extremely surprising. i left the newspaper at 9:30 or 10:00 and cycled through town, and there was absolutely nobody celebrating except in one bar. i saw more policemen standing around and talking amongst themselves than having to do any security. it was all extremely quiet. what do you put that down to? how do you explain that lack of celebration visible on the streets? five years ago, when francois hollande won,

you were just saying we're coming to the last hour, this is a big city, bordeaux, along with paris and is 8pm local time when ends. there is still a steady strea m when ends. there is still a steady stream of stragglers. whether they are finding it hard to make up their minds or their choice is so sure they feel they can pop in at the last minute, i am not sure. we will find out. but it is a kind of warm, sunday evening, here in bordeaux, people coming in, kind of a quiet celebratory mood, quite different i feel to round one. i suppose with 11 candidates it was a lot of choice. now down to two. we have heard about these two candidates having very specific policies that some people are not comfortable voting for either and they would like to have a bit of some of the previous 11. but we don't have long to wait. it is about an hour. we found out loud one projections very quickly after the polls closed. i think a lot of people are meeting with their families, getting around the television, or maybe in a bar, trying to figure out what is next for this country. just a few days since a telev

you can get more later from bordeaux. thank you.d the is interesting, because usually the publicans and the socialists do the counting but because they were eliminated in the first round they did not turn up to count. so they have been short of people to count in polling stations around the country. here are some messages from people speaking to macron. the outgoing presidents, whose approval rating is at 14%, deeply unpopular, he says, all my wishes for the country's success. and also the former prime minister, who really counts himself as a social democrat rather than a man of the hard left, he says, we are aiming at building a large and cohesive presidential majority in parliament. i salute a beautiful large victory for emmanuel macron. a lot of people have been inspected later in whether he might go over to en marche!, might stand for them or at least align himself with them. just one other to give you, the republican's vice president, says emmanuelle macron is president, says emmanuelle macron is president this evening through
