French Prime Minister François Bayrou has said parliament has 13 days to choose between chaos or responsibility, after calling a vote of confidence on plans for deep budget cuts.
Bayrou, who has led a minority government since last December, said in an interview he would "fight like a dog" to win the 8 September vote.
Opposition parties have lined up to say they will vote against him, from the National Rally on the right to the Socialists, Greens and France Unbowed on the left.
The vote comes two days before protests are due to take place in France to "block everything”.
Reacting to news of the vote, France’s CAC-40 share index fell 1.59% on Monday and then a further 1.5% on Tuesday.
