PARIS (Reuters) - French Far Right leader Marine Le Pen, facing criticism following defeat in last month's regional elections for making her party too mainstream, said on Sunday she would not change course.

"The National Rally (RN) has experienced a healthy change. We will not go back to the (old school) National Front," Le Pen said in a closing address at her party's two-day congress in the southern city of Perpignan.
