France Has Their Own Red State/Blue State Divide

I saw this interesting graphic on Powerline:




In this case the blue areas generally support the party of the right, or Chirac's party. The red areas are more leftist, so the colors are opposite of what they represent in the U.S. election map.

Still, it's interesting that the areas that supported the EU constitution are the more heavily populated, urban areas, similar to the blue counties in the U.S.

However, in both the U.S. and French elections, red was right.
