French President Emmanuel Macron has appointed the country's youngest-ever prime minister, as he seeks to breathe new life into his second term in power.
34-year-old Gabriel Attal is known as a popular and media-savvy rising star of French politics.
The openly gay and a Macron loyalist became a household name as government spokesman during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Attal commenced his political career with work experience in the office of the health minister at the age of 17.
Macron and Attal are expected to name their new ministry in coming days.
