Salon-de-Provence: Gambling on the future
Emma Jane Kirby has been biking her way across the country, following the route of the cycle race the Tour de France, to test the mood of the electorate ahead of the presidential elections.
On Sunday 23 April, the French will go to the ballot boxes to vote in the first round.
Emma Jane's latest stop is in Salon-de-Provence. She visited the house where the 16th century physician and astrologer, Nostradamus, spent his final years and wrote his famous prophecies, but did he foresee the outcome of the 2017 election?
As Emma Jane found out from the locals, there is still everything to play for.
