I'm almost proud of my hood. It is rightly acknowledged that people of faith have no monopoly of virtue - Queen Elizabeth II

I'm proud of my hood. It's fairly typical of the more progessive cities (as I noted above : urban, young, ethnically diverse and left leaning). Personally I noticed the astonishing number of young voters, also the turnout among Black and North African-origin voters was higher than anything I've ever seen in 15 years of poll-volunteering in Lyon.
AND they voted overwhelmingly Mélenchon. No forensic proof of that, but that's the obvious conclusion (Mélenchon won in the "overseas" departements of the Carribean and Indian Ocean which is real interesting)
I will be studying the numbers in detail in the coming weeks... I won't be the only one... Legislative elections in June. It is rightly acknowledged that people of faith have no monopoly of virtue - Queen Elizabeth II
