Résumé :

Extreme right voting in Europe is related to individual political attitudes such as intolerance toward the immigrants or fear of globalization. In this article, we raise the question of the ecological correlation between extreme right voting and political attitudes such as intolerance toward foreigners. We will show that the geography of "ethnocentrism" opposes urban and metropolitan areas with more peripheral or old industrial areas. But we will mainly show that the geography of political attitudes which are specific of the extreme right is not correlated with the geography of extreme right voting. It raises the question of the spatially differentiated capacity of these parties to rally their potential electorate. Through a multiscalar qualitative analysis, several responses will be explored: the political national systems, the socio-economic context or the importance of the urban/suburban cleavage.
