CABINET
In a French context this term refers to the team of civil servants who carry out advisory and administrative duties for a minister or a préfet. The Prime Minister's cabinet is made up not of ministers but of senior civil servants, including the directeur de cabinet, who has a political role as the Prime Minister's principal private secretary (and can deputize for him or her), and the chef de cabinet, whose function is largely administrative.
