Stephen Smith looks at the life of the newly appointed French prime minister.
The child of film producers, at one stage it looked like he was bound for a career in entertainment.
Instead, Gabriel Attal has become the youngest PM in modern French history and he hopes to revive President Macron's government.
One of his first tasks will be to lead the French government into the European Parliament elections in June.
Contributors Marisol Touraine, former French Minister of Health, chair of Unitaid. Mireille Clapot, National Assembly member for Drôme. Philippe Marliere, Professor of French and European Politics, University College London. Dominic Gould, Actor. Sophie Pedder, Paris Bureau Chief, the Economist.
