The visit highlights Macron's commitment to seeing "full and complete respect for the ceasefire in Lebanon" as well as France's support for Lebanon's "territorial integrity", the president's office said on Sunday.
Israel and Lebanon on Thursday agreed to a 10-day ceasefire to give time to negotiate an end to six weeks of Israeli war on Lebanon.
The visit was announced a day after an ambush on UN peacekeepers, left one French soldier dead and three others wounded.
Macron is to urge Lebanese authorities to "shed full light on the incident" and "identify and prosecute those responsible without delay," his office added.
An initial assessment by the United Nations Interim Force in Lebanon (UNIFIL) found the attack was carried out by Hezbollah, according to UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres.
Hezbollah denied involvement in the attack that killed the French peacekeeper.
The resistnace group said responsibility should not be assigned before Lebanese army findings, and called for continued coordination between UNIFIL, the army and local communities in southern areas.
The war on Lebanon has seen UNIFIL positions repeatedly targeted mainly by Israeli forces.
Last month, the UNIFIL reported Israeli occupation forces firing warning shots at a convoy of peacekeepers in Lebanon last week, and said three Indonesian peacekeepers were killed in separate incidents in southern Lebanon.
The attack was not the first in which UNIFIL accused Israel of endangering its peacekeepers.
In November, UNIFIL said Israeli troops fired at its personnel from a tank near a position in southern Lebanon despite an earlier ceasefire arrangement, adding that it had repeatedly raised concerns over risks to peacekeepers.
