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.'
