The French Revolution of 1789 brought about enormous changes and laid the foundations for the France that we know today. It also ended the reign of Louis XVI and his reine<\/strong> (queen<\/em>) Marie Antoinette. But … it didn’t end the monarchy in France!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Un empereur, trois rois, et un autre empereur!<\/strong><\/p>\n

Before France would bid adieu definitively to it’s monarchs, the county would be ruled by an emperor, three kings, and another emperor<\/em>! And while\u00a0les empereurs<\/strong> came from a whole new line, les trois rois<\/strong> (the three kings)<\/em> essentially picked up where the last one left off.<\/p>\n

Les deux Napol\u00e9ons<\/strong><\/p>\n

The return of kings to France was bookended by not one, but two Napol\u00e9ons. The first, Napol\u00e9on 1er, had himself declared empereur des Fran\u00e7ais <\/strong>in 1804, ending the Premi\u00e8re R\u00e9publique<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Le neveu de Napol\u00e9on 1er<\/strong> (the nephew of Napoleon I<\/em>) would be both the president of France’s Deuxi\u00e8me R\u00e9publique<\/strong> (Second Republic)<\/em> and the Emperor of le Second Empire<\/strong> (1852-1870).<\/p>\n

Between the two would be three kings …<\/p>\n

La Restauration<\/strong><\/p>\n

After the abdication of Napoleon I, les deux fr\u00e8res de Louis XVI<\/strong> (the two brothers of Louis XVI<\/em>) succeed each other as roi de France<\/strong> (king of France<\/em>).<\/p>\n

Louis XVIII (1814-1815 and 1815-1824)
\nCharles X<\/a> (1824-1830)<\/p>\n

La monarchie de Juillet<\/b>
\nFollowing les Trois Glorieuses<\/strong>, Louis-Philippe Ie (1830 – 1848), le duc\u00a0<\/strong>d’Orl\u00e9ans<\/b> is named roi de Fran\u00e7ais<\/strong> (king of the French<\/em>) and rules until the events of the revolution de 1848, ending the almost 300 year rule of the Bourbon kings (but not their family line) that began in 1589!<\/p>\n

Descendents of the Bourbon kings can still be found around the world including le comte de Paris<\/a>\u00a0<\/strong> \/ the Count of Paris, <\/em>descendant of the house of Orl\u00e9ans and Louis de Bourbon<\/a>, whose lineage makes him the legitimate heir to the throne of France … if there was still one!<\/div>\n

Le Basilique Saint-Denis<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Located to the north of Paris, the Basilica of Saint Denis is the final resting place of kings and queens of France going back as Dagobert I, king of the Francs<\/a>! Because of its location outside the city, many tourists miss this amazing place. But just a short ride on the subway can take you back in time and to the tombs of Louis XVI, Marie Antoinette, et leurs enfants<\/strong> (and their children<\/em>).<\/p>\n
