2 Adolphe Thiers[1] 31 August 1871 24 May 1873 Opportunist Republican
Initially a moderate monarchist, named President following the adoption of the Rivet law. He became a Republican during his term, and resigned in the face of hostility from the Assemblée nationale, largely in favour of a return to monarchy.
3 Patrice de Mac-Mahon[2] 24 May 1873 30 January 1879 Legitimist
A Marshal of France, he was the only monarchist President of the Third Republic. He resigned shortly after the Republican victory in the 1877 legislative elections, following his decision to dissolve the Chamber of Deputies.
4 Jules Grévy[3] 30 January 1879 2 December 1887 Opportunist Republican
The first President to complete a full term, he was eaily re-elected in December 1885. He was nonetheless forced to resign, following an honours scandal in which his son-in-law was implicated.
5 Marie François Sadi Carnot[4] 3 December 1887 25 June 1894 Opportunist Republican
His term was marked by boulangist unrest and the Panama scandals, and by diplomacy with Russia. Assassinated (stabbed) by Sante Geronimo Caserio a few months before the end of his mandate, he is interred at the Panthéon, Paris.
6 Jean Casimir-Perier[5] 27 June 1894 16 January 1895 Opportunist Republican
Perier's was the shortest Presidential term: he resigned after six months and 20 days.
7 Félix Faure[6] 17 January 1895 16 February 1899 Opportunist Republican
Pursued colonial expansion and ties with Russia. President during the Dreyfus Affair. Four years into his term he died of apoplexy at the Élysée Palace, allegedly in flagrante.
8 Émile Loubet[7] 18 February 1899 18 February 1906 Opportunist Republican
During his seven-year term, the 1905 French law on the Separation of the Churches and the State was adopted, and only four Presidents of the Council succeeded to the Hôtel Matignon. He did not seek re-election at the end of his term.
9 Armand Fallières[8] 18 February 1906 18 February 1913 ARD-PRD
