History
PredecessorThird Fillon government
SuccessorFirst Valls government

The Ayrault government was the 35th and 36th governments in the

EELV (2) and the Radical Party of the Left (2). This was the first French government to respect gender equality
, with equal male and female posts except the Prime Minister. It lasted one month, until the June legislative elections, after which Ayrault submitted his resignation.

Following the legislative victory, President Hollande immediately charged him with forming a new government, under Article 8 of the

French Constitution
. The second Ayrault government (cabinet #36) began on 18 June 2012.

Following a landslide defeat in the French mayoral elections, the second Ayrault government was dissolved on 31 March 2014.[2] Manuel Valls was chosen by Hollande to form the next cabinet.
