Centrist candidate Emmanuel Macron won the final round of Frances pivotal presidential election on Sunday with a decisive victory over far-right candidate Marine Le Pen.

With almost all votes counted, Macron claimed 66.1 percent of the vote , according to government tallies reported early Monday. Le Pen conceded shortly after initial tallies were released Sunday night.

Macron celebrated his victory with a rally at the Louvre in Paris, where joyous supporters waved both European and French flags as they cheered their candidate.

A new page of our long history is turned ... one of refound hope and trust, Macron said after the results came in.

In her concession speech, Le Pen said that France had decided to vote for continuity rather than change and vowed that her National Front party would undergo an overhaul to prepare for the future.

The National Front ... must deeply renew itself in order to rise to the historic opportunity and meet the French peoples expectations, she told supporters.

Florian Philippot, the National Fronts vice president, said the party will change its name.
