The Minister of Public Works was a cabinet member in the Government of France. Formerly known as "Ministre des Travaux Publics" (1830-1870), in 1870, it was largely subsumed by the position of Minister of Transportation (France). Since the 1960s, the positions of Minister of Public Works ("Ministre de l'Equipement") has reappeared, often linked with Minister of Housing ("Logement"). It has also been linked to Minister of Transportation, Minister of Tourism, Minister of Territorial Development ("Aménagement du territoire") and Minister of the Sea. French government ministers are members of the Prime Ministers cabinet, although in French the term cabinet is rarely used to describe the gouvernement, even in translation (as it is used in French to mean a ministers private office, composed of politically-appointed aides). ... It has been suggested that Human rights in France be merged into this article or section. ... The Minister of Transporation is a cabinet member in the Government of France. ... The Minister of Tourism is a cabinet member in the Government of France, frequently combined with Minister of Transportation, Minister of Public Works (Ministre de lEquipement), Minister of Housing (Logement), Minister of Territorial Development (Aménagement du territoire) and Minister of the Sea. ...

The current position of Minister of Transportation, Public Works, Tourism and the Sea is held by Dominique Perben.
