Pierre Gahane is not the first black prefect France has had, but he is the first prefect who is not "French" (Cameronian origin), and can be considered "young" (43 years-old). Does he remind you of anyone perhaps? Barack Obama...
The French media is running wild with his appoint as prefect of Alpes de Hautes-Provence. Call it the Obama effect or whatever you want. Gahane asserts that a persons abilities is what takes him or her to the top.
