Marine Le Pen in a result that will have far-reaching consequences for Britain and Europe.
Initial results which was 65.1% to 34.9% gave 39-year-old Mr Macron almost two thirds of the vote, showing a clear path to the Elysee Palace for the pro-business, centrist Europhile who was a political unknown until three years ago and has never held elected office.
A serious-looking Mr Macron reached across the divide to Le Pen voters: "A new page of our long history is turned,” he said afterwards.
But he didn't shy away from his internationalist agenda in which he promised to restore the lnks between the EU and ordinary citizens.
