National conservatism in contemporary French politics were represented mainly by [[File:JeanMarieLePen.png]] '''Jean-Marie Le Pen''' and his party - National Front. 

While serving in the military, he volunteered to fight in the Algerian War. He started his political career in 50s, being elected to the National Assembly as member of [[File:Rpop-tinfoilhat.png]] [[Right-Wing Populism|Pierre Poujade's]] UDCA party. In 1958, Le Pen broke with Poujade and was once again elected to parliament, as a member of [[File:Farm.png]] [[Agrarianism|Centre National des Indépendants et Paysans (CNIP)]]. In 60s, he engaged in presidential campaign of far-right candidate Jean-Louis Tixier-Vignancour. 

In 1972, he founded National Front party. The NF party included [[File:PhilippePétain.png]] [[French Fascism|neo-Petainists]], as well as supporters of [[File:AlainBenoist.png]] ''[[Ethnopluralism|Nouvelle Droite]]'' and [[File:Integral_Nationalism.png]] '''[[Integral Nationalism|Action Française]]'''. Support for the party briefly increased in the 1980s, causing the party to win seats in National Assembly for the first time. Nevertheless, FN's electoral success was short-lived and in next elections party either got no seats or won only one or two. In 2011, Le Pen was replaced by his daughter, Marine. Four years later she expelled him from the party and began "de-demonisation" of FN. Party changed its name to "National Rally' and shifted towards more populist stances.

In 2016, Jean-Marie Le Pen founded a new party, '''Comités Jeanne''', but it has had no electoral successes.
