French uses the same convention as English. First then last. No one would ever say, or write, "Macron Emmanuel est le président de la France".

In languages like Japanese or Hungarian, that's what family name first means.

If you were writing a letter to him, though, you might put his name on the envelope as MACRON Emmanuel.
