PARIS -  French Prime Minister Gabriel Attal and his government resigned on Tuesday, but will stay on in a caretaker capacity until a new cabinet is appointed following the snap election.

The caretaker government will run current affairs in the euro zone's second-largest economy, but cannot submit new laws to parliament or make any major changes, experts say.

Its role will include making sure that the Olympics, that start on July 26, run smoothly.
