French voters participated Sunday in mayoral runoffs across major cities including Paris and Marseille, with the left defending traditional strongholds against competition from the right and far-right National Rally ahead of next year's presidential election. The race in Paris remained tight between leftist Emmanuel Grégoire and right-wing candidate Rachida Dati, while the far-right party sought to expand its control to larger municipalities including the southern city of Toulon.
