There is a two round run-off election for every seat. However, there is a twist that you only need to get 1/8th of the vote to make it to the second round. I believe in practice parties withdraw from the second round in order to prevent vote splitting, especially if the far-right makes it to the second round.
I don't know what clamoring there is for a change to proportional representation, although I believe I heard Bayrou make some noise about it.
