Damian Tarrell, 28, was sentenced to four months in prison and another 14 months suspended sentence.
Tarrel was banned from public office and possession of weapons for five years.
In court, the defendant described himself as a right-wing or extreme “patriot” and a member of the Yellow Vest economic protest that rocked Mr Macron’s president in 2018 and 2019.
He told a court in the southeastern city of Valence that the attack was unplanned and impulsive, triggered by anger at France’s “decline.”
A spokeswoman for Macron’s office did not answer a request for comment.
