This page is a list of French Prime Ministers . Before the constitution of the Fifth Republic in 1959 , there was no official position entitled "Prime Minister" in the French government. Rather, one of the government ministers held the semi-official title of '''President of the Council of Ministers''' (''Président du Conseil des Ministres''), and was unofficially known as the prime minister (''premier ministre''). Even this was something of a misnomer, as it was the President Of France who actually presided over the Council of Ministers. CHIEF MINISTERS OF THE FRENCH KINGS, 1624-1791 Louis XIV ruled without a chief minister after Mazarin's death. After Louis' death, his nephew Philip II, Duke Of Orléans , Regent for Louis XV , directed the government in person before he appointed a prime minister in 1718 .
1792-1815 During the First Republic and First Empire periods the arrangements for the direction of the government of France changed frequently and there was no office of Prime Minister. See the relevant articles for details. PRIME MINISTERS OF FRANCE, 1815-PRESENT SEE ALSO EXTERNAL LINK
