Monarchism in France is the advocacy of restoring the monarchy (mostly constitutional monarchy) in France, which was abolished after the 1870 defeat by Prussia, arguably before that in 1848 with the establishment of the French Second Republic. The French monarchist movements are roughly divided today in three groups:

  1. The Legitimists for the royal House of Bourbon,
  2. the Orléanists for the cadet branch of the House of Orléans, and
  3. the Bonapartists for the imperial House of Bonaparte
