That's not how this works. After the first round of election, the seats that don't have a majority go into a run-off. If a candidate drops out, their previous votes don't go anywhere, they just won't be an option during the next round. They only "give" their votes because they've dropped out and most French people feel more comfortable with left wing politicians than right wing politicians.
