She said in 24 she wouldn't seek a third, I couldn't find a reason besides vaguely implying "out of respect to the Parisians".

She probably just knew she was on shaky ground. I think she played that smart, it's already pretty wild she got 2 terms seeing how mad some people were at her after the first one

On the other hand we are talking about a nation that wanted to put a highway interchange in the middle of Paris ...
