More than half of all black Britons live in London, many in hardscrabble housing projects such as the Moorlands Estate in Brixton, south London, where Solomon Wilson, 23, and his friend Nathan Foster grew up.

They also claimed Strasbourg, Saint-Etienne, Blois, Caen, Reims, Metz and Rouen from the right. Leftists were meanwhile returned to power in Lyon, Lille, Rennes, and Montpellier, taking 49.5% of the nation's popular vote versus 47.5% for the right.
