Orléanist parties

Orléanist (French: Orléaniste) was a 19th-century French political label originally used by those who supported a constitutional monarchy expressed by the House of Orléans. Due to the radical political changes that occurred during that century in France, three different phases of Orléanism can be identified:

Action Française (AF; English: French Action) is a French far-right monarchist and nationalist political movement. The name was also given to a journal associated with the movement, Revue d'Action Française, published by its own youth organization, the Camelots du Roi.

During the Bourbon Restoration (1814–1830) and the July Monarchy (1830–1848), the Doctrinals (French: Doctrinaires) were a group of French royalists who hoped to reconcile the monarchy with the French Revolution and power with liberty. Headed by Royer-Collard, these liberal royalists were in favor of a constitutional monarchy, but with a heavily restricted census suffrage—Louis XVIII, who had been restored to the throne, had granted a Charter to the French with a Chamber of Peers and a Chamber of Deputies elected under tight electoral laws (only around 100,000 Frenchmen had at the time the right to vote). The Doctrinaires were a centrist, as well as a conservative-liberal group, but at that time, liberal was considered to be the mainstream political left, so the group was considered a centre-left group.

The Rue de Poitiers Committee (French: Comité de la rue de Poitiers), best known as the Party of Order (French: Parti de l'Ordre), was a political group formed by monarchists and conservatives in the French Parliament during the French Second Republic. It included monarchist members from both the Orléanist and Legitimist factions and also some republicans who admired the United States model of government.

The Resistance Party (French: Parti de la Résistance) was a centre-right conservative Orléanist political group during the July Monarchy.

The Movement Party (French: Parti du Mouvement) was a centre-left liberal monarchist political group during the July Monarchy.
