Election results:  Wikipedia (2017, 2022)

France elects its presidents using a two-round system. All candidates must compete in the first round, and the two with the most votes advance to the second round if no one reaches 50 percent. Macron won only 28 percent in the first round, hardly a ringing endorsement.  [emphasis added]

As you can see from the 2017 results, Macron received 24.01% of the vote.  In other words, he boosted his 2022 first-round performance by 4 percentage points.
