Emmanuel Macron lost it as a teenager referred to him by his nickname "Manu" during an official outing near Paris on Monday.
The cheeky youngster, who joined a group of friends at the Mont Valerien fort near Paris, was filmed by LCI saying: “How’s it going, Manu?”
In response, Mr Macron pointed his finger at the teen and said: “No, you can’t do that. No, no, no, no.”
Appearing confused, the teenager said: “Sorry, excuse me, I’m sorry Mr President.”
You call me ‘Mr President’ or ‘Sir’, OK?
Mr Macron reminded the boy he was an at an official ceremony and “should behave”.
He added: “You can play the fool but today it’s Marseillaise, the Chant des Partisans, so you call me ‘Mr President’ or ‘Sir’, OK?
My Macron continued shaking the hands of the young people waiting to meet him before going back to the teen and continuing his rant.
The French President said: “The day you want to start a revolution you study first in order to obtain a degree and feed yourself, OK?
The youngster was also captured singing lines from socialist anthem, The Internationale.

Mr Macron was attending a ceremony at the Mont Valerien memorial in Suresnes, marking the 78th anniversary of General Charles De Gaulle’s call to resistance.
The Mont Valerien memorial is where hundreds of French Resistance members were executed during World War 2.
The video was widely shared on social media – causing Mr Macron to face criticism for his blunt remarks.
One Twitter user wrote: “He has apologized, but yet Macron continue his useless speech and humiliate him in front of the camera.
Reporter Alexander Seale wrote: Emmanuel #Macron’s reaction was quite stupid when the boy asked him “Ca va Manu?”
“In Britain, people would’ve laughed. When David Cameron was Prime Minister, he was often greeted by “Hi Dave!” He didn’t care about it. #France #18juin1940 #18juin"
