PARIS (Reuters) - Flag-waving supporters cheered French centrist Emmanuel Macron and far-right leader Marine Le Pen's accession to the second round of France's presidential elections on Sunday night as downcast supporters of France's two main traditional parties quietly slipped out of their near-empty headquarters.
In a packed Porte de Versailles conference hall on the edge of Paris, thousands of well-heeled young fans of the upstart centrist Macron - many of them students voting for the first time - clapped, chanted and hugged one another to loud hiphop and disco music.
