French Presidential elections

Who will be the next French president? Soon we know.

The first round of the election will be held on 10 April this year. The second and final round will take place on 24 April. Exactly what the procedure looks like, what is at stake and what the thoughts are, if any, differs a lot between different professional thinkers.
