President Nicolas Sarkozy became a grandfather Tuesday after the wife of his second son, Jean, gave birth to a baby boy.
Ministers congratulated Mr Sarkozy, who will turn 55 this month, after a cabinet meeting.
"There was no applause but we all congratulated him," said Eric Woerth, the budget minister.
"The prime minister had the opportunity on behalf of the government to congratulate the president who said that this birth gave him great joy," said a government spokesman.
"Yes, he had a grandson this morning," said a presidential aide, who added that he had been given a "very unusual" name.
According to a parliamentary source, his first name is Solal, the hero of the 1968 novel Belle du Seigneur, a tragic love story by Swiss-Jewish writer Albert Cohen.
Jean Sarkozy, 23, married Jessica Sebaoun-Darty, heiress to the Darty household appliances empire, in September 2008 and the couple announced last year that they were expecting their first child.
The young Mr Sarkozy, a law student, hit the headlines late last year after attempting to become head of the body that runs La Dufense, a vast business district just west of Paris. Mr Sarkozy was castigated for nepotism and his ambitious dauphin nicknamed "Prince Jean".
Mr Sarkozy jnr., who is a local councillor in the Hauts-de-Seine department - his father's long-standing fiefdom - gave up running for the post.
Mr Sarkozy has two sons from his first marriage - Jean and Pierre. His youngest son, Louis, 12 is from a second marriage.
The French president is said to be trying for another child with his third wife, Carla Bruni-Sarkozy, whom he married two years ago. The supermodel-turned-singer has a son, eight-year-old Aurelien, from a previous relationship.

A two-year rape investigation against magician David Copperfield has been closed without charges being filed, U.S. authorities have said.
A Seattle woman, whose identity has not been disclosed, claimed he sexually assaulted her on his private island in the Bahamas in 2007.
His lawyers have previously dismissed her claims as an attempt at "extortion for money, plain and simple".
The woman's lawyer, Rebecca Roe, said her client was "disappointed". "But it wasn't completely unexpected given the jurisdictional issue of prosecuting him here for something that happened on his private island," Ms Roe added.
The USA Attorney's Office in Seattle said the decision "should not be perceived as a comment on guilt or innocence".
Mr Copperfield lawyers made no immediate comment on the decision.
The woman who made the complaint is a 23-year-old fashion model, waitress and former Miss Washington contestant. She said in a related civil lawsuit against Mr Copperfield that she met him when he pulled her out of the crowd and onto the stage during a performance in Washington. The woman said she was invited to his private island where she claimed the star - real name David Kotkin - sexually assaulted her.
Police said she had recently filed a false sexual assault complaint against a different man.
Copperfield is known for elaborate stunts such as apparently walking through the Great Wall of China and making the Statue of Liberty disappear.
