French Prime Minister Elisabeth Borne resigned on Monday as President Emmanuel Macron seeks to reface his second term ahead of European Parliament elections and the Paris Olympics this summer.
The change in prime minister comes after a year marred by political crises caused by contested pension reforms and immigration laws.
It also comes just five months before European Parliament elections, with Eurosceptics expected to make record gains at a time of widespread public discontent over rising living costs and the failure of European governments to stem migration flows.
In France, polls show Macron's party trailing far-right leader Marine Le Pen by around eight to 10 points ahead of the June vote.
Speculation of a government reshuffle had been rife in the weeks since narrow parliamentary approval of tough immigration rules exposed deep cracks in Macron's centrist majority. Macron himself promised a new political initiative.
