French Republican Left (1871–1885)

The Gauche Républicaine (Republican Left) was a French parliamentary group, initially informal, originating from the republican opposition positioned on the left in the Corps législatif during the Second French Empire. It operated in the National Assembly elected in 1871 at the start of the Third Republic, and later in the Chamber of Deputies from 1876, before merging with the radicals of the Union républicaine to form the Union des gauches in 1885.
