The former investment banker, who has promised to restore France's global standing, officially becomes the country's youngest president at the age of 39.
President Macron said at the elaborate Élysée Palace ceremony;
"My mandate will give the French back the confidence to believe in themselves,"
He vowed to see the EU "reformed and relaunched" during his time in office. He takes over from François Hollande, whose five-year term was plagued by high unemployment figures.
Mr Macron, who was proclaimed France's new president a week after his resounding victory over the National Front's Marine le Pen, with 66% of the vote in the run-off poll, had never contested an election before and only formed his centrist political movement a year ago.
