The 46-year-old trained as a lawyer before working as public affairs director for the state nuclear group Areva between 2007 and 2010. He subsequently embarked on a political career, becoming an MP in 2012 and Le Havre’s Mayor in 2014.He was educated at Sciences Po – the prestigious Parisian university also attended by Mr Macron – where he briefly joined the left-wing socialist party, before progressively moving further to the right. He later attended École nationale d’administration – also attended by Mr Macron – cementing his place among the upper echelons of France’s political elite.
