The French Parliament is the legislative body of France, responsible for making and passing laws. It consists of two chambers: the National Assembly and the Senate. Members of the National Assembly are elected directly by the public, while Senators are chosen by local officials. The Parliament meets in Palais Bourbon for the National Assembly and in Palais du Luxembourg for the Senate. Together, they debate and vote on various issues, including the national budget and proposed legislation. The Parliament plays a crucial role in shaping the country's policies and governance.
