Look at the bright side Paddy' . If Le Pen was elected , she'd quit NATO , snuggle upto to Putler getting in oil & gas at huge discount thus jump starting the economy paying for all this in roubles of course , launch a campaign for Frexit thus keeping their brother in arms
i.e you , company , followed by exiting FCAS leaving Germany free to embrace the Tempest program which all the existing partners including you can't afford coz you're broke & last but not the least launch a drive to stop the immigration of your favourite religious group in the world - the Muslims into France coming down hard on existing migrants to assimilate not pandering to their backward customs & traditions - something you personally & your politicians can't even have a wet dream about.

I really don't know. Everyone a little bit aware in France knows that full right wing is not the EU "recommended" choice... But Marine LePen is not Adolf H or Benito M !

Macron, 44, won with 58.5 per cent of the vote against Le Pen’s 41.5 per cent after an aggressive second-round campaign in which he cast the leader of the National Rally as a far-right threat to democracy and European security.

Rather close considering that she is described as far-right. The BNP, which is the UK equivalent never got more than about 1%.
