Did France have a monarchy

Answer 1

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.

Answer 2

No, the French monarchy ended on September 4, 1870. The French governement is a unitary semi-presidential constitutional republic and has two leaders. The head of state, the President of the republic and the Prime Minister who is appointed by the president.
