It's been suggested that President Macron could lose his office due to a no confidence vote....

....after forcing through his retirement age change. This is not true.

If you bother to read the Constitution of France, you will understand that there are two components: the "President" and the "Government".

The PRESIDENT is elected directly by the people and serves a fixed term of five years, with the possibility of re-election to a second term (Article 6)

The GOVERNMENT is the legislative National Assembly and Senate, led by a Prime Minister appointed by the President (Article 8). The Government can be dissolved upon a no confidence vote resulting in the PM tendering the Government's resignation. Upon dissolution, new elections for the National Assembly and Senate will be held within 20-40 days (Article 12). However, the President remains in office.

1. Could spell trouble for France though if it bolsters the far-right

Le Pen could start vowing to keep the retirement age lower.

2. Yep, it's the gvt facing the no confidence vote

In France the gvt has to withstand a no confidence vote if bypassing the National Assembly to pass legislation.
