Eric Zemmour was pelted with a fresh egg by a protester in Moissac on Saturday.
The incident was caught on camera, with the video showing a man putting his arm over the top of a car door as the politician was getting out of a vehicle and smashing the egg on Zemmour's head.
The less-than-hospitable man was immediately detained by security.
According to a report by BFM TV, the protester, who acted "in a personal capacity", has a disabled son. There were no additional details about his motivations.
Zemmour has not commented on the incident, only sharing a picture from his meetings in the city on his Twitter account and writing that he was "delighted to be in Moissac today".
