The 40-year-old leader holds a Cabinet meeting Wednesday at the Elysee presidential palace.
Macron hopes his break will help give his policies new impetus after a nightmare political scenario in July. His government survived two no-confidence votes last month following a scandal over a top Macron security aide, Alexandre Benalla, identified in a video as acting violently toward a protester while wearing police equipment.
While the centrist leader promised transparency and an exemplary government before his election, the scandal has raised questions about his team's working methods and actions.
Benalla, who initially stayed in his job before a public uproar led to his dismissal, has since faced initial charges, including committing violent acts and impersonating a police officer.
The latest public opinion polls at the end of July have seen Macron's popularity rate at its lowest level since he was elected in May 2017.
