No, it didn't. France was already a Republic when Napoleon became First Consul in 1799.
Napoleon became premier consul of France in November of 1799 (Brumaire Year VIII) and became Emperor on March 20th, 1804 when he crowned himself
France has had a number of governments, from absolute monarchy to republic to modern democracy; can you be more specific with your question?
Napoleon Bonaparte.
The problem with this question is: what do you mean by King? and what do you mean by Before? 1792 France had Kings for a thousand years, then Louis XVI lost his head and was replaced by the First Republic. 1802 Within ten years, this had become a dictatorship, 1804 ...and then an Empire, under the Emperor Napoleon I. An Emperor, of course, is a sort of KIng. 1814, 1815 When (10 years later again) Napoleon was defeated and dethroned, he was replaced by KING Louis XVIII. When he died, his brother took over as Charles X, and quite soon he was overthrown 1830 ...and replaced by another King, Louis-Philippe. 1848 ...18 years later, Louis-Philippe was replaced by the Second Republic. So he must be the last King of France before it became a Republic. Except that the President of the new Republic was another Napoleon, 1852 ...who became Emperor Napoleon III four years later. 1870 However, he was replaced after 18 years by the Third Republic. And, although the French are now on the Fifth republic, there hasn't been another King. Yet.
Yes, with a regal coronation.

The Committee of Public Safety was in charge of the French Republic. Eventually, Napoleon Bonaparte would become the head and then he transformed France into an empire.

France became a constitutional monarchy as a result of the French Revolution. The new constitution came into effect in 1791 but before long the struggle between radicals and moderates tore the government apart. The King was deposed in 1792 and executed. France then became a republic. The First Republic was an unstable government that faced internal insurrection and foreign invasion. The Reign of Terror saw the executions of thousands of people and widespread violence. Eventually the Republic was ended by Napoleon Bonaparte, who named himself initially First Consul and, in 1804, Emperor of France. Although the Empire had a Constitution, in practice Napoleon ruled as a dictator. Once he was deposed in 1815, the Bourbon Kings were restored, with a "compromise" constitution that limited their powers but still recognised them as rulers by Divine Right. France was then a constitutional monarchy from 1815 to 1848. King Charles X was foricbly overthrown in 1830 when he refused to share power with the legislature; his successor, Louis-Phillipe, promised to rule as a constitutional monarch. Louis-Phillipe maintained the existing monarchist constitution, but like his predecessors continually interfered with government. Eventually the French overthrew him and France became a republic once again in 1848. This Second Republic was also short-lived because its President, Louis-Napoleon Bonaparte, the heir of Napoleon I, soon proclaimed himself Emperor in 1851. Unlike Napoleon I, Napoleon III, as he was known, ruled with a legislative assembly. Napoleon III was the last monarch to rule over France. In 1871 he abdicated after France was defeated in the Franco-Prussian War, and the Third Republic was proclaimed.
