According to exit polls, Le Pen's party got more than twice as much as Macron's, even though Zemmour also got 5.5%. Definitely a shift towards populism.
Greens lost big, Macron lost big, the "center-right" went from being a non-entity to remaining one The only ones who gained are the right-wing populists and left-wing populists (who in France are unfortunately pro-Islam, they're no Sarah Wagenknecht).
The most important question remaining is whether Zemmour will get 5%. Otherwise, all his votes will be lost, and that'd be a bloody shame.
