Macron isn't his party. Much of his party finds the far-right distasteful.

These are very typical dynamics in Europe right now. Centre-right parties publically cry and moan about how terrible the far-right is much more than they do about the left, but when it comes down to form coalitions, suddenly the far-right is still better than he the moderate left.

This has already played out in Finland and Sweden, for example.
