Macron's candidate in the constituency, Pierre Baudis, is concerned some voters are taking Airbus for granted.

But after Melenchon came top in the Toulouse constituency hosting the aerospace company in France's presidential election, it is a seat his new left-wing alliance is targeting as it seeks to deprive President Emmanuel Macron of a parliamentary majority in the votes on Sunday and June 19.

But he warned that record-high inflation and the surging cost of living - a theme that cost Macron points in the presidential election - were still hurting. After his strong showing in April's presidential election, Melenchon, a hard-left populist, has sought to carry that momentum over to the parliamentary elections, forging the alliance deal and urging the French to"elect prime minister".

But as elsewhere, it has created a two-speed city, riven by inequalities between the people in well-paid aerospace jobs and those struggling to make ends meet. Demonstrating as part of the healthcare protest, Florence Druol, a 37-year-old nurse who drives around the city to take care of her patients, says that is why she will vote for Melenchon's candidate.
