France is not a monarchy and therefore does not have a King and Queen. France is a republic and had a president, Nicolas Sarcozy. France used to be a monarchy, but during the French Revolution the French killed their last King and Queen (Louis XVI and Marie Antoinette) because at that time France was bankrupt and the people were starving. They blamed it all on their King and Queen, which was not fair. Though, the revolutionists wanted France to become a republic so the bourgeoisie could reign alongside their president. In the monarchy France used to be, this was not the case, and the King had the only right to reign the way he saw fit.

∙ 10y agoNo. Currently, France is a Republic and has not had a monarch since 1848. However, prior to 1848, France was a monarchy and was that way from the early 1200s (with an exception from the 1790s to 1810s during the French Revolution of 1789 and Napoleonic Wars).
Louis XX, the Bourbon candidate for the monarchy, still runs on the Royalist ticket in French elections. He usually gets around 3-5% of the popular vote.
