Watch live: French polling opens as Le Pen takes on Macron

French voters are heading to the polls, for the second time this month, facing a stark choice between two candidates with far different visions for the country, Europe and the world in a closely watched, high-stakes election with broad ramifications beyond the country’s borders.

The second round of voting for the presidency sees incumbent Emmanuel Macron face off against far-right challenger Marine Le Pen, the same match-up as five years ago.
