The biggest problem with this is now how France is going to govern. Not having a majority in the Assemblée is akin to an American president whose party is in the minority both on the House and Senate, making it very hard to govern or getting anything done really.

There are already some talks about Macron's party Ensemble potentially making a deal with the PS (Party Socialiste, center-left) and potentially also Les Républicains (The Republicans, center-right) if the seats from the PS won't suffice to get above 289 seats and an absolute majority, but with a more left-leaning bend going forward.

Predictably, the RN is already calling the result "undemocratic".
