Outgoing French Socialist President Francois Hollande confirmed Monday that the formal handing over of power to Emmanuel Macron will take place on May 14.

Macron was elected on Sunday with a business-friendly vision of European integration. He prevailed over far-right contender Marine Le Pen with 66 per cent of the vote to become France's youngest leader since Napoleon.

His election was thought to be seen as a huge relief to European allies who had feared another populist upheaval to follow Britain's vote to quit the EU and Donald Trump's election as US president.
