Education Minister Gabriel Attal, a close ally of French President Emmanual Macron who gained prominence as government spokesman during the Covid pandemic, was widely cited by political sources and French media as a strong favourite to replace Borne.
His appointment was confirmed shortly after midday.
Attal, at 34, has become France's youngest prime minister and the first to be openly Gay, reported UK-based Standard.
Not only would he be the youngest PM of France but he would also stand as the youngest PM in the world after Sanna Marin of Finland stepped Down last year.
