Will the far-right rule France? | Inside Story

France has been gripped by two events that are happening in the coming weeks.
One, is the Summer Olympic Games in Paris...
But the other, is the snap election called by president Emmanuel Macron, after Marine Le Pen's far-right National Rally, made huge gains in European elections.
With Macron's Ensemble alliance teetering on the edge of collapse, the stakes couldn't be higher.
His decision to call an early election has galvanised all side of the political spectrum.
But can Macron's centrist vision survive?
Or is the French Republic on the brink of a significant political shift?
