In his office, several black and white photos sit above the green velvet sofa, near a packed bookcase.

Installed in these new premises since April 2021, the candidate of the National Rally, Marine Le Pen, brought with her a piece of her story.

A story that she willingly tells as she has left traces.

“We were put in front of political life at a very young age”

When she talks about her first mentor, "my father", she admits to having fallen into politics when she was very young "like Obélix".

And is full of praise for her daughters, whom she has managed to preserve from the media fire linked to her political commitments.

"We were put in front of political life very, very young," she argues to explain her desire to keep her private life well separated from her life as a committed woman.

Given second in the polls, behind Emmanuel Macron, Marine Le Pen quietly holds her boat while awaiting the results of the polls, Sunday, April 10, after the first round of the presidential election.

And is preparing for a fight she lost five years ago to the outgoing president.

If the polls are right, of course.
