PARIS (Reuters) - Armed with buckets of glue and brooms, Anne-Lys Falicon and a dozen others put down their drinks and walked out into the night to put up posters of Eric Zemmour, the political outsider with incendiary views who is shaking up France's 2022 election race.

Falicon, a fashion student, never before identified with a political party, while the others plastering Zemmour's portrait in a well-heeled Paris district included former supporters of the long-standing far-right and conservative parties.
