Gabriel Attal, aged 34, is the youngest Prime Minister in modern French history, outranking even Socialist Laurent Fabius who was 37 when he was appointed by François Mitterrand in 1984.
Mr Attal replaces Élisabeth Borne, who resigned after 20 months in office.
He will now have the task of leading the French government into important European Parliament elections in June./.
