Emmanuel Macron last night vowed to 'defend Europe' minutes after becoming France's youngest leader since Napoleon.

Macron, 39, beat far-right National Front (FN) candidate Marine Le Pen, 48, in an election that will have widespread repercussions for the future of Europe.

He has previously stated he will not give Britain an easy Brexit deal and even branded the UK's departure from the EU 'a crime'.

With the final ballots counted this morning, Macron had won 66.1 per cent of the vote in the first ever election he has contested, far ahead of Le Pen at 33.9 per cent. Turnout was 74.62 per cent, but in a sign of widespread disillusionment, one in three voters abstained or cast a blank ballot.

Just 15 minutes after the exit polls were announced, Le Pen conceded and revealed she phoned Macron to 'congratulate' him on his election victory.

Later in the evening, Macron addressed thousands of his adoring supporters who had gathered at his election victory rally outside the Louvre in central Paris.

He walked across the sprawling historic courtyard to the music of Beethoven's 'Ode to Joy', the European Union anthem, and said: 'Europe and the world are waiting for us to defend the spirit of the enlightenment everywhere.'

Addressing the jubilant crowd with a beaming smile, he said: 'Thank you my friends. Thank you for being here tonight. You have fought with courage.

'What we have done for so many months, everyone thought it was impossible, but they didn't know France. I thank you for your trust. Thank you for the risk some have taken.'

Macron also addressed those who had voted for Le Pen, telling the crowd: 'They have expressed today anger.

'I respect them and I will do everything in the five years that come for there to be no reason to vote for extremists. Today there are just the French. France reunited.'

He repeatedly said the task before him was 'immense' adding that Europe and the world were looking to France. He added that he would work to 'reform our Europe'.

Macron said that France had 'chosen audacity' and promised to serve his country with 'humility and strength'.

Mr Macron achieved a resounding 66 percent election landslide that ended any hopes of power for the nationalist firebrand Marine Le Pen, 48, and her National Front (FN) party

He added last night: 'This evening it is Europe and it is the world that are watching us. Europe and the world are waiting for us to defend the spirit of the enlightenment everywhere, threatened in so many places.

'They expect us to defend liberties everywhere, that we protect the oppressed. They are waiting for us to have a new hope, a new humanism, a more secure world, a world of freedom, a world of more growth, more justice, more ecology. They await us finally.

'The task before us is immense and will begin tomorrow (Monday). It will require making public life more responsible, defending our democratic values, strengthening our economy, building the new protections of this world around us, giving a place to everyone, rebuilding our Europe and ensuring the safety of all the French.'

He ended his speech with the immortal French words: 'Long live the Republic, long live France'.

This morning, the French President-elect is preparing the groundwork for his transition to power, with plans for a visit to Germany, a name change for his political movement and an appearance on Monday with the man whose job he assumes.

Mr Macron must pull together a majority for his year-old political movement by mid-June legislative elections. His party, En Marche! (Forward!) is tweaking its name as it prepares a list of candidates.

Mr Macron has promised that half of those candidates will be new to elected politics, as he was before Sunday.

The far-right National Front party is also gearing up for a name change, if not a makeover of its ideas, after Marine Le Pen's decisive loss.

In interviews on Monday her campaign director David Rachline said the party founded by her father would get a new name as bait to pull in a broader spectrum of supporters in France.

During the campaign, Le Pen had hoped that the surprise election of Donald Trump in America, and the Brexit result in the UK, would favour her hardline opposition to the EU, globalisation and immigration.

But instead it was Macron who celebrated in front of crowds of supporters outside the Louvre in central Paris.

This morning, focus has already shifted on whether he can govern the country without the support of a traditional party.

Macron faces a formidable challenge to enact his policy programme while trying to unite a fractured and demoralised country.

He has proposed an ambitious domestic reform agenda including cutting state spending, easing labour laws, boosting education in deprived areas and extending new protections to the self-employed.

But he is inexperienced, has no political party and must fashion a working parliamentary majority after legislative elections next month.

There is scepticism about Macron's ability to win a majority with candidates from his En Marche movement - 'neither of the left, nor right' - alone, meaning he might have to form a coalition.

'In order for us to act, we will need a majority in the National Assembly,' En Marche secretary general Richard Ferrand told TF1 television, adding that only 'half of the journey' had been completed.

And his economic agenda, particularly plans to relax labour regulations to fight stubbornly high unemployment, is likely to face fierce resistance from leftist opponents.

He also inherits a country still in a state of emergency following a string of Islamist-inspired attacks since 2015 that have killed more than 230 people.

'I WISH HIM SUCCESS IN THE FACE OF THE IMMENSE CHALLENGES FACING FRANCE', SAYS LE PEN Speaking after the exit polls showed Macron had won the election, Le Pen (pictured) said she had phoned to congratulate him on his victory Marine Le Pen delivered her concession speech less than 15 minutes after official exit polls confirmed her devastating defeat. Speaking to an audience of party officials and close aides she said she would create a new force in French politics pitting 'patriots against globalists'. She said: 'The French have chosen a new president of the republic and voted to continuity. I congratulate him on his election because I have the best interests of the country at heart, I wish him success. 'I wish him success in the face of the immense challenges facing France. 'I would like thank the 11 million French people who gave me their voice and their confidence. 'I want to thank the activists who have supported and accompanied me throughout this campaign. 'I would like to thank [rival election candidate turned support Nicolas] Dupont-Aignan and his party Debout La France for their courageous choice. 'The French people have chosen a patriotic and republican alliance as the first force of opposition. 'The political groups who have taken the responsibility to elect Mr Macron have been discredited. The first round showed a breakdown in French politics with the elimination of the old parties. 'The second round created a realignment of politics split between patriots and globalists. This choice between patriots and globalists will be presented to the French people in the parliamentary elections. 'I will be at the head of this fight to gather together all of those who choose France first. 'The Front National must renew itself to live up to this historic opportunity and expectations of the French people. 'I plan to begin the transformation of our movement to create a new political force. 'I am calling all patriots to join and participate in the decisive political battle that begins tonight. 'More than ever in the coming months France will need you. 'Long live the Republic, Long live France.' Advertisement

Macron has erased Louis Napoleon Bonaparte's record as the youngest ever president and said he would fight with all his might against all inequality in French society.

In his election victory speech, he said: 'This is a new democratic landscape. Today you've agreed to put your trust in me and it's a great honour and responsibility, as nothing was written in stone.

'I want to thank all of you from the bottom of my heart. I want to speak to all citizens now. No matter who you voted for, I do not hold anything against you.

'We need to deal with the economy and the moral weakness of the country. I want to address my opponent, Marine Le Pen.

'I know the divisions of our nations have pushed people to extremes and I know the anger and the doubt in our country. It's my duty to listen to this.

'It's about organising solidarity, fighting all forms of inequality and discrimination, ensuring unity and guaranteeing the security of the nation.'

His supporters had already flocked on to esplanade in front of the most popular museum in the world when the results were announced, waving red-white-and-blue French flags and chanting 'Macron, President!'

British Prime Minister Theresa May 'warmly congratulated' Macron on his victory in the French presidential race and said 'we look forward to working with the new president on a wide range of shared priorities.

Mrs May's message comes after Macron described Britain's exit from the EU as 'a crime', and revealed he favours a so called 'Hard Brexit' which will see the UK excluded from Europe's single market.

Despite this he and his wife, Brigitte, 64, have admitted that they have strong personal links with Britain, and often holiday in cities such as London and Bristol.

Mrs Macron - her husband's former schoolteacher in the northern French town of Amiens - said at the weekend: 'We both absolutely love Britain, and make sure we visit every year - this won't change.'

Mrs Macron, who has three grown-up children from a first marriage, will now become first lady of France when the couple move into the Elysee Palace following an inauguration ceremony later this month.

US President Donald Trump also congratulated Macron and tweeted: 'Congratulations to Emmanuel Macron on his big win today as the next President of France. I look very much forward to working with him!'

Participation in the election by 7pm was 74 per cent, a relatively low turnout compared to previous elections.

The Macrons voted in the town hall in Le Touquet, on the English Channel coast, where they share a beachside home with their Argentine Mastiff dog, Figaro.

Prime Minister Theresa May also discussed Brexit with Macron, saying 'the UK wants a strong partnership with a secure and prosperous EU once we leave,' the spokesman added. European Union 'Happy that the French chose a European future,' European Commission President Jean-Claude Juncker wrote on Twitter. EU Council President Donald Tusk also offered his congratulations, saying the French had chosen 'liberty, equality and fraternity' and 'said no to the tyranny of fake news'. European Parliament President Antonio Tajani told AFP: 'We have received a vote of confidence from France in the European Union.' China President Xi Jinping congratulated Macron, saying their countries share a 'responsibility toward peace and development in the world.' 'China stands ready to work with France to move the strategic Sino-French partnership to a higher level,' Xi said in a congratulatory note, according to the Chinese foreign ministry. Japan Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe said 'the victory of President-elect Macron is a symbolic victory against inward-looking and protectionist moves and shows a vote of confidence in the EU'. Canada Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said he wanted to work together with Macron on a 'progressive agenda' to 'promote international security, increase collaboration in science and technology, and create good, middle-class jobs on both sides of the Atlantic'.

Defeat to those interfering w/democracy. (But the media says I can't talk about that).'

In The Netherlands, Dutch far-right leader Geert Wilders commiserated with Le Pen, saying in a tweet: 'Well done anyway @MLP-officiel millions of patriots voted for you! You will win next time - and so will I!' -In Austria, Heinz-Christian Strache, head of the far-right Freedom Party, said Le Pen deserves 'respect... She is from now on the strongest opposition force against Macron.' Advertisement

Le Pen meanwhile voted in Henin-Beaumont, the former coalmining town just 75 miles from Le Touquet.

She is massively in favour of Brexit, and wants France to follow suit with its own Frexit vote - one that would almost certainly lead to the collapse of the whole European project.

Le Pen has continually failed to win a parliamentary seat in Henin-Beaumont - where she shares a flat with her partner, Louis Aliot - and this is her second failed presidential election campaign.

Le Pen had been continually trailing Macron in opinion polls since the pair beat off competition from nine other candidates and made it through the first round of voting two weeks ago.

Macron will take over from Socialist president Francois Hollande, whose five years in power have led to spiralling unemployment and other economic problems.

The end of the campaign was blighted on Friday night when suspected Russian hackers posted previously confidential data belonging to En Marche! (On the Move!), Macron's electoral movement.

In a statement, Macron's team described this as 'democratic destabilisation, like that seen during the last presidential campaign in the United States.'

Macron was a fierce critic of Le Pen too, describing his opponent as 'the high priestess of fear', and saying she needed to stop her 'idiocies' and lies'.

In turn, Le Pen said Macron, a former unelected finance minister in France's Socialist government and Rothschild banker, was a 'darling of the system', who wanted to turn the country 'into a trading floor'.

Macron's first big challenge as President will be to built a majority in the National Assembly in parliamentary elections that take place in June.

For security reasons, Macron was driven to his nearby polling station at Le Touquet City Hall. He shook hands with a large crowd of supporters before voting

Last night some 10,000 Macron supporters filled the courtyard of the Louvre Museum in Paris, waving the tricolour French flag, alongside the starred EU banner.

In contrast, Le Pen - who had called for France to quit the EU in its own Frexit - held a smaller consolation rally in a restaurant on the outskirts of the city, with only hard-line supporters invited.

This morning, it emerged that France's far-right National Front party is gearing up for a name change - but not a makeover of its ideas - after its decisive loss to Macron.

In interviews Monday, the campaign director for Marine Le Pen, David Rachline, said the party founded by her father would get a new name as bait to pull in more supporters in France.

During the day the Louvre courtyard was evacuated and shut off for just over two hours when police were called to deal with a suspect package found in the media tent.

Ballots were cast by voters protected by private security guards, searching bags and frisking people at entrances, as armed police and soldiers are outlawed from protecting 67,000 French polling stations.

However the 50,000 policemen and gendarmes, together with 7,000 soldiers, on standby were not required.

Macron has previously pledged to start a 'rebirth' of the European project with his pledge to strengthen EU external borders with a 5,000 strong force.

He also wants to maintain the Schengen free-travel zone and appoint a finance minister for the eurozone.

Macron argued that Britain must be dealt a hard Brexit in which the UK leaves the single market, with no free movement, and a completely renegotiated trade deal.

Speaking in October 2016 he said: 'I am attached to a strict approach to Brexit: I respect the British vote but the worst thing would be a sort of weak EU vis-a-vis the British.

'I don't want a tailor-made approach where the British have the best of two worlds. 'That will be too big an incentive for others to leave and kill the European idea, which is based on shared responsibilities.'

Both candidates voted early on Sunday before heading to Paris. Macron arrived at the town hall in Le Touquet, on the English Channel coast, shortly after 10.30am, with his wife Brigitte, 64.

Despite the couple living around the corner with their Argentine Mastiff dog, Figaro, they were in a five-car convoy and surrounded by at least a dozen armed security guards and police officers.

Topless feminist activists, who had climbed on to the roof of the church, hung a banner and shouted anti Le Pen chants, were removed and briefly detained by police before the candidate arrived.

The Femen protest was the latest in many demonstrations against Le Pen or against both candidates. Unions are reportedly already planning a protest today.

Macron, the former Socialist economy minister and one-time banker was all smiles as he stepped out of his holiday home in the seaside resort.

For security reasons, Macron was surrounded by armed security and driven from his nearby home to the polling station in a five-car convoy.

Outgoing French president Francois Hollande cast his vote in the runoff election to replace him in his political fiefdom of Tulle in southwestern France.

Hollande, the most unpopular French leader in the country's modern history, decided not to stand for re-election last year.

The Socialist president called on voters to back centrist Macron, his former protégé. Former French president Nicolas Sarkozy and his wife Carla Bruni were also photographed voting at a polling station in Paris.

Yesterday the rest of the world watched as the most unpredictable and important French presidential campaign in recent memory ended with a hacking attack targeting Macron on Friday night, just hours before the country went into media blackout.

France's government cybersecurity agency, ANSSI, is investigating the hack, which Macron's team says was aimed at destabilising the vote.

Fears of outside meddling hung over the race after France's election campaign commission said yesterday that 'a significant amount of data', along with some fake information, was leaked on social networks following the hacking attack on Macron.

The leaked documents appeared largely mundane, and the perpetrators remain unknown. It's unclear whether the document dump will dent the large polling lead Macron held over Le Pen going into the vote. The Paris prosecutors' office said it has launched an investigation following the attack.

The commission urged French media and citizens not to pay attention to the leaked documents. French electoral laws impose a weekend news blackout on any campaigning and media coverage seen as swaying the election meaning Le Pen's campaign could not formally respond due to the blackout.

Sarkozy served as president from 2007 until 2012. Before his presidency, he was the leader of the Union for a Popular Movement party
