As Emmanuel Macron prepares to assume the French Presidency on the 14th May, we have launched our new Timeline of French Presidents.
If your family has French heritage, find out more about what was happening in the world of politics around them. What influenced their life choices and the direction that your ancestors took?
From Louis-Napoleon Bonaparte, who was the first Head of State of France to hold the title of President, to Albert Lebrun who was the last President of the Third Republic and Charles de Gaulle who was a dominant figure during the war years, our timeline gives an insight into the volatile nature of politics in France and will give some context to your family story.
