Mr Macron, the country's youngest-ever elected president, has vowed to shake up the country's political order and reinvigorate its economy.
He beat the far-right candidate Marine Le Pen with 66% of the vote.
He takes over from François Hollande, whose five-year term was plagued by high unemployment figures.
The former investment banker had never contested an election before and only formed his centrist political movement a year ago.
Tight security was in place across Paris for the ceremony at the president's official residence, with hundreds of extra police on patrol.
Live updates from the ceremony
France has been under a state of emergency since terror attacks in 2015 and a large section of the city centre was closed to traffic all morning.
