Yes, he was. He was a self-proclaimed Emperor who was addicted to power. Though, at the time, he was everything France was in desperate need of. He structured the country again with firm rules and got rid of all the chaos that was caused by the revolution. The French had gotten rid of their monarchs, but now that was done, nobody knew how to rule the country and who should do it.
In 1799, he staged a coup d'état and installed himself as First Consul; five years later he crowned himself Emperor of the French. In the first decade of the nineteenth century, he turned the armies of the French Empire against every major European power and dominated continental Europe through a series of military victories---epitomised in battles such as Austerlitz. He maintained France's sphere of influence by the formation of extensive alliances and the appointment of friends and family members to rule other European countries as French client states. He made France big again. He was a brilliant strategist, operational commander and battlefield tactician. He was highly intelligent, but also addicted to power. The latter brought him to his eventual downfall.

A moderate constitution was drawn up in 1848. It called for a parliament and a strong president to be elected by the people. France accepted a strong ruler. In December 1848, Louis-Napoleon Bonaparte, the nephew of Napoleon Bonaparte, won the presidential election. However, the people of France had wanted a generous democratic republic, but instead the Constituent Assembly completed a constitution featuring a strong executive. Louis-Napoleon Bonaparte then declared himself Emperor Napoleon III of France against the wishes of the National Assembly.

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.
