Mr Macron’s plans are seemingly at odds with EU boss Jean-Claude Juncker who admit there is no future in the “United States of Europe” vision being chased by the Frenchman.
Before accepting his prize, Mr Macron wrote on Twitter: “The European dream is now gnawed by doubt.
“It’s up to us to decide whether we want to live it or let it die.”
His comments will come as a blow to Ms Merkel, who heaped praise on her French counterpart during her own speech at the prize-giving ceremony in Aachen, Germany.
She said: “With Emmanuel Macron, a dynamic young politician has entered the European stage, for whom European integration and the common currency are a clear course.”
And with Germany seemingly standing in the way of Mr Macron’s Eurozone revolution, the German Chancellor admit discussions on the topic are “difficult” between Paris and Berlin.
Ms Merkel added: “The European economic and currency union must be made more sustainable.
“We will make the eurozone more crisis-proof.”
