The second round of France’s 2026 municipal elections were held yesterday (March 22), with election victories for left-wing parties in major cities.
Socialist Party and Green candidates won in Paris, Lyon, and Marseille, backed by a wider alliance from left-wing parties including the Socialists, Greens and Communists.
In Bordeaux, centrist candidate and former minister Thomas Cazenave defeated incumbent Pierre Hurmic, and in Toulouse right-wing Jean-Luc Moudenc was re-elected for another term.
Despite media attention being focused on these larger cities however, the elections covered all of France’s 34,000 plus communes, thousands of which have new mayors.
Many rural communes already knew their mayor after the first round.
Those with two candidate lists saw one group receive an absolute majority in the first round - in many rural locations only one individual ran for mayor, winning by default.
The full results across France are now available, including contests in larger cities.
French media outlet Le Figaro has an interactive colour-coded map that provides details on the mayors elected across France.
It shows the name of the new mayor, the party or alliance their list was backed by (if any), and the number of votes received by all candidates.
You can view the map here.
Use your mouse to interact with the map to look at all results, or type in your commune in the search bar at the top to find results for a specific location.
Noticeably, the vast majority of mayors in rural areas were not officially backed by parties and ran under an ‘sans étiquette’ (independent) banner.
