Macron has also come under fire from potential allies and Le Pen for acting as if victory next month was already in the bag after visiting a restaurant on the Left Bank on Sunday night after his first round triumph, handing ammunition to his opponents who described it as shallow, arrogant behaviour.
Le Pen was booed by some workers in the fruits and vegetables section. The move comes just a day after she reached the second round of the French Presidential elections, where she will face centrist Emmanuel Macron on May 7.
While the Républicains' official line is "not to vote Le Pen", Christian Estrosi, head of the Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur region, where the FN is very strong, said any members failing to clearly call for a Macron vote should be "excluded".
PARIS: France's leader Francois Hollande warned Tuesday of complacency ahead of the country's second-round presidential runoff, saying the defeat of far-right candidate Marine Le Pen should not be taken for granted. It is largely symbolic, as she will only temporarily be replaced by the party's vice president, Jean-François Jalkh, for two weeks, allowing her to concentrate exclusively on the presidential campaign. "Nothing is won. I have never considered one minute that it was won".
"Tonight, I am not the president of the National Front, I am the presidential candidate, the one who wants to gather all the French around a project of hope, of prosperity, of security", she said in an interview on French television.

But Doc Rivers tempered expectations for the guard's return in this Western Conference first-round series, which is tied 2-2. The Clippers deployed ace defender Luc Mbah a Moute to slow down Johnson but even he couldn't slow down the veteran forward.
Perhaps in an effort to broaden her appeal to voters from outside the National Front's (FN's) traditional constituencies, Ms Le Pen announced on Twitter on Monday that she was temporarily stepping down as leader of the far-right party so she could run as a candidate for "all the French".
Pollsters say a low turnout would favour Ms Le Pen.
Le Pen's father, Jean-Marie, told France Inter radio Tuesday that he thinks his daughter has produced a "too laid-back" campaign. For voters 35-49, Le Pen won 27.1 percent of the vote.
Ms Le Pen hopes to woo bewildered Fillon voters, many of whom share her tough stance on immigration, terror and law and order. Centrist Emmanuel Macron is still favourite to be elected the new President and can be backed at 1/6 to win the second round of voting.
