Louis XVI was the King of France in the year 1777. He ruled this country from 1774 until his death in 1792. He was executed during the French Revolution.
The last King to rule France was Louis0Philippe (1830-1848) but he was King of the French, NOT King of France. The last person officially designated King of France was Charles X (1824-1830)

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.
The French Revolution of 1848 ultimately resulted in the creation of the French Second Republic. This is also referred to as the February Revolution.
The King of France before the French Revolution.
France is a republic. The latest king was overthrown in 1848.
France is a Republic. The last king was overthrown in 1848.
No. France has not had a king since 1848.
No, the last king of France was Louis-Philippe the Ist. He reigned from 1830 to 1848.
The last King to rule France was Louis0Philippe (1830-1848) but he was King of the French, NOT King of France. The last person officially designated King of France was Charles X (1824-1830)
Louis-Philippe, who reigned 1830 to 1848 as a constitutional monarch.
The French king was called "roi de France", but there has not been a king of France since 1848.
It is very unlikely that there will be a king in France again. It would be necessary to change the constitution and the idea of returning to a monarchy is preposterous to the French. The last king was ousted by the 1848 revolution and France has been a republic ever since.
No. In 1789 this political system was finished there, France becoming ever since a republic. --------------------------------------------------- Actually, what is above is not totally correct. France knew two monarchy restorations in 1830 and in 1848.
In 1939 (which, in case you're American, I should explain is when WW2 started) France had been a Republic for 69 years, and had not had a king since 1848.
Paris is the capital of France which is a republic. So there is no king or queen in Paris, since 1848 when the latest king was ousted (though there was the emperor Napoldeon III for a few years after).
One might say, transitional. The Revolution of 1848 had got rid of King Louis-Philippe (the first and only King of the Orléans line) and installed the Fourth Republic. The President was Louis-Napoléon Bonaparte, who became, in 1848, the Emperor Napoleon III.
