Election fever hits Pontrieux

While back home you have the local elections not to get excited about, there is an air of excitement here in France about tomorrow’s Presidential election. The BBC may tell you that campaigning is not permitted today. Not strictly true. Although candidate appearances and the distribution of campaign literature is not permitted, there is nothing to prevent other ways of campaigning.

Despite having only 835 voters, Pontrieux was deemed worthy of inclusion in the final campaign push. Today the Sarkozy cavalcade came to town so I popped out to say hello and wish them well for tomorrow.
