The French have a stark choice between pro-business independent Macron and anti-immigration populist Marine Le Pen. With Macron the pollsters' favourite, voting stations opened across mainland France at 8am (7am GMT) under the watch of 50,000 security forces guarding against extremist attacks. Both candidates were surrounded by press as they voted. Le Pen (pictured right) cast her ballot in a church in Henin-Beaumont, a small northern town controlled by her National Front party. Topless feminist activists (pictured centre top) who had climbed on to the roof of the church, hung a big banner and shouted anti-Le Pen chants were removed and briefly detained by police before she arrived. Front-runner Macron, 39, voted in the coastal town of Le Tourquet in northern France alongside his wife, Brigitte (pictured together left). Macron arrived at the town hall in Le Touquet, on the English Channel coast, shortly after 10.30am, with his wife (pictured centre bottom) and shook hands with a large crowd of supporters before voting. The French presidential election was rocked by a security alert in the heart of Paris at about 1pm after the courtyard outside the Louvre museum, where Macron plans to hold an election night victory party, was evacuated on police orders after a bomb threat.
