Marine Le Pen's far-right National Rally party will get the biggest vote share in the first round of France's parliamentary elections, according to exit polls.
As polls closed on the first round of voting on Sunday, National Rally had a strong lead at 33%, followed by the left-wing New Popular Front coalition on 28.5%.
President Emmanuel Macron's Renaissance party are polling third with an estimated 22%.
Addressing supporters in Henin-Beaumont, northern France, Ms Le Pen said: "For the moment nothing is won, and the second round will determine the outcome."
She warned voters to "be careful" in the coming days, and urged them to "mobilise" ahead of the second round on 7 July.
The result is almost double the 18% National Rally achieved in the 2022 elections and puts them in good stead to become the largest party in France's lower house.
