BBC: France opts for left-right battle
Excerpt:
"Centre-right candidate Nicolas Sarkozy will face Socialist Segolene Royal in the run-off of France's presidential election on 6 May.
With all the votes counted in Sunday's first round, Mr Sarkozy had 31%. Ms Royal, bidding to be France's first woman leader, got nearly 26%.
Centrist Francois Bayrou had 18%, and far-right Jean-Marie Le Pen almost 11%.
Voting reached near-record levels, with turnout put at almost 85% - the highest for nearly 50 years."
