The 39-year-old centrist candidate defeated the far right’s Marine Le Pen, winning 66.1 per cent of the vote.
In a statement, External Relations Minister Sir Philip Bailhache said he looked forward to continuing to develop strong links between Jersey and France during Mr Macon’s presidency.
‘I warmly congratulate Mr Macron on his victory in the French Presidential election. ‘
‘Jersey has an historic and enduring relationship with our French neighbours which has developed over many centuries and continues through our regular ministerial and official contact, through BIAN (the Bureau des Îles Anglo-Normandes) in Caen, and CIBO (the Channel Islands Brussels Office).
‘I look forward to the continuing development of strong links between Jersey and France during Mr Macron’s Presidency.’
Meanwhile, in a tweet, Senator Philip Ozouf said: ‘Congratulations @EmmanuelMacron. We hope this victory will be an opportunity to renew the historic ties with the Anglo-Norman Channel Islands.’
Mr Macron’s victory was also praised in Guernsey.
The island’s External Relations Minister Deputy Jonathan Le Tocq said: ‘I think we can work with Mr Macron because he understands things outside of France.
‘Whatever you feel about his views on the EU, he is not just about France.
‘We know what his values are in such a way that it will be possible to negotiate and do business with France.
‘He understands the global environment and that will be important for every neighbour of France, including ourselves.’
