The centre-right candidate Nikolas Sarkozy was elected the new France's president in the Sunday run-offs, claiming 53% of the votes.
Sarkozy managed to win against his socialist opponent Segolene Royal, who won 47% of the votes in the most violent battle for the post in the last three decades.
A record high voter turnout of about 86% was registered across the country in the second round of the presidential competition.
Polling stations opened at 8 a.m. local time in continental France and closed at 6 p.m. in rural regions and 8 p.m. in the big cities.
Close to 44,5 million French voters are eligible to cast their ballots on Sunday, another record.
More than 1 million French nationals overseas voted a day before polls open in mainland France.
Centre-right candidate Nicolas Sarkozy, the former finance and interior minister, run on a platform that focuses on reforming the floundering French social model, cutting taxes and pushing free-market reforms.
The newly elected head of state will have to make some tough decisions about a wide range of issues where change is needed in order to revive a divided society and stagnating economy.
