Depends who you think of when you say status quo. I'd say the left is popular in many urban areas (radical left in modest neighborhoods and environmentalist/social-democrats for the rest), but the far rights reaps almost every rural area.

I'd disagree on that.

I live in a poor rural area (Combrailles - Puys de Dôme) and the area is firmly left. The NFP went first in 3 of the 4 districts in my department.

Before that I lived for a few years in an area that was waaay richer (Nièvre, a zone with a lot of big cereal agri-businesses) and it was consistently right wing.

It's a bit more complicated than urban/peri-urban/rural or generational divides. Even if these components each are important in their own right ^^
