It's hard to tell how it's going because this is a resort town.

The Calanque boats are going out on tours, lots of people strolling the port, eating Sunday lunch at the restaurants, and generally enjoying the day.

Heavy rain was predicted for the Marseille area, but it hasn't materialized.

The polls at the Mairie were quiet when we went by. One bored gendarme watching people shopping at the crafts fair.

We did meet a crazed Sarkozy supporter in a wine bar last night who swore that if Hollande won he would move to the US.
