TL;DR

Socialist Emmanuel Gregoire won the Paris mayoralty by leading a left-green-communist coalition, with poll-based estimates around 51–53% in the runoff, defeating Conservative Rachida Dati. The result mirrors broader gains for the traditional left in municipal elections across France, while the far-right National Rally fared better in some cities but did not seize Paris. Marseille re-elected its Socialist mayor, and turnout was just under 48% in metropolitan France.
