This article lists the presidents of the Senate of France (French: Président du Sénat français; official translation: Speaker of the Senate)[1] and assimilated chambers.
The Senate is the upper house of the French Parliament.
With the Restoration in 1814, a new Chamber of Peers was created, on the model of the British House of Lords.
At first it contained hereditary peers, but following the July Revolution of 1830, it became a body to which one was appointed for life.
With the new constitution of the Fifth Republic in 1959, the older name of Senate was restored.
