Mr Macron and Ms Le Pen went through to the second round after a vote on 23 April
The two candidates
hoping to be France's next president are making a final push for votes
on the last day of campaigning before Sunday's election.
Centrist Emmanuel Macron - who has a substantial lead in opinion polls - is visiting the southern city of Rodez.
His National Front (FN) rival, Marine Le Pen, had eggs thrown at her as she campaigned in Brittany on Thursday.
Meanwhile Mr Macron has filed a lawsuit over online rumours that he had a secret bank account in the Caribbean.
He
has strongly denied the allegations, which were mentioned by Ms Le Pen
in Wednesday evening's rancorous final TV debate between the two
contenders.
An opinion poll by the Odoxa Institute for France Info predicted
Sunday's election would have the lowest turnout of any second-round
presidential vote in France since 1969. The institute reported that
far-left voters were particularly unlikely to vote.
A separate
poll, carried out by Elabe for BFMTV and L'Express, found support for Mr
Macron had risen to 62% among those who had decided how to cast their
vote, compared to 38% for his far-right rival. Image copyrightReutersImage caption

In other developments on Thursday:
Former US President Barack Obama
endorsed Mr Macron in a video message, praising his "liberal values" and
saying he "appeals to people's hopes and not their fears"
Ms Le Pen's estranged father
Jean-Marie, a co-founder of the National Front (FN) who was expelled
from the party in 2015, said he thought she "perhaps did not rise to
the occasion" in the TV debate
