Around 8PM on Sunday night, the result of the first round of the French presidential elections became clear – social-liberal outsider candidate Emmanuel Macron had won, far-right National Front leader Marine Le Pen came in a close second. The Ministry of Interior reports today that Macron received 23.75 percent of the votes, while Marine Le Pen received 21.53 percent. One of them will become France's new president after the second round of elections, on Sunday, the 7th of May. 

After the results were announced, Le Pen and her entourage celebrated in the François Mitterrand Sports Complex in Hénin-Beaumont, in the north of the France. Photographer Vincent Jarousseau was there for the evening – he was finishing a two-year long project, for the purposes of which he has been documenting the three French towns where Front National is the most popular party. Hénin-Beaumont is one of them.
