It was in 1870 when the French stopped having monarchs.

The 1848 revolution led to the fall of Louis Philippe I, and then Louis Napoleon Bonaparte (a nephew of Napoleon the emperor) became president and then, in 1852, he became emperor under the name Napoleon III.

This was the Second Empire. Finally, after the defeat and fall of Napoleon III by Prussia, in 1870, the French III republic was born, and that's when the monarchy was officially over.

This revolution happened because the French people were starving, really poor and mad. The French philosophers were teaching and speaking of other systems of government, some very Utopian and some practical. After a particularly poor harvest and seeing in what extravagance their royalty lived the poor arose and overthrew the royalty. A republic was formed, the King, Queen and many others were given a one way trip to the guillotine and the French were free.
