From our special correspondent in Fréjus

Julien Chavanne

A benevolent campaign, without cheap blows, focused on its proposals, and not on its adversaries.

This is Marine Le Pen's plan for her third attempt: the positive attitude.

The president of the RN wants to lift the veil on her personality, to reveal her hidden face to the French.

We can already see her smile on her poster.

We will also see her a lot on the field. 

Éric Zemmour, a pebble in the shoe

It will be a three-month Tour de France, 100 days to occupy the space while its competitors on the right are still looking for a candidate;

100 days to sell its 22 measures, too.

If the path is clear, the pebble in the shoe is already there: his name is Eric Zemmour. 

The CNews polemicist is in the pre-campaign, he hunts on the lands of the RN, but Marine Le Pen assures him in a small committee: she is not worried, nor anxious, nor feverish, convinced that his candidacy will not pass the 'year.

But you won't hear him attack Eric Zemmour directly.

There is no question of alienating its possible voters so early in the campaign.
