        Abdtract In this paper, the history and characteristics of the right-wing of France have been studied with the emphasis on Gaullists. Despite his opposition with party system, General de Gaulle contributed to the advancement of this system in France through establishing the political party. After him, Jacques Chirac undertook the General de Gaulle's heritage for achieving democracy by forming the "Union of Democrats for the Republic". During Jacques Chirac Presidency, this Party was on the wane.

Some people consider this party -which is far-right - amongst Neo-Nazists because of its severe and extreme positions. This article deals with the most important Right-Wing Parties in France.  Manuscript profile
