How to address a president in a speech?

Hi all!

What would be the correct way to address a president a country in a speech? Let's say it is the president of France.. Do I just say: "Mr. president, your excellencies (referring to ambassadors) I would like to thank you for...." or what would be the correct way to address the president?

'Your excellency, the president of France' does not seem right..
