French Renewal
French Renewal () is a French far-right ultranationalist political party affiliated with the European National Front, founded in November 2005.

Renouveau français politically defines itself as nationalist, Catholic and "counterrevolutionary"—in this case, reactionary opposition to the principles of the French Revolution of 1789. Nevertheless, the organisation has a tricolour logo and claims to defend the "French nation".

Organisation
Renouveau français describes itself as a "structure for reflection, formation and information, outside the electoralist framework, independent from all political formations and from all cleavages".

Renouveau français is coordinated by a directorial committee and has regional branches in Île-de-France, Brittany, Anjou, Normandy, Vendée, Toulouse and Alsace. They claim several hundred members and "thousands" of sympathisers.

Doctrine 
Renouveau français describes itself as "nationalist", defining the notion as "defence of vital interests of France and the French, without any hatred". 

Renouveau français is monarchist and rejects freemasonry and lobbyist organizations, as well as Marxism and classical liberalism. The organisation claims to be the heir of Charles Maurras, Édouard Drumont, Maurice Barrès, Jacques Ploncard d'Assac and Henry Coston. Their site hosts editorials from veterans of the Organisation armée secrète (OAS).

Electoral stance 
Renouveau français claims to be "off the left/right cleavage", a common claim of French nationalism. In 2007, however, Renouveau français encouraged its sympathisers to vote for "no other candidate than Jean-Marie Le Pen." Le Pen was described as "the only credible representative of the patriotic trend". Still, Renouveau français warned against the "parliamentary system", and the "fundamentally Masonic, secular, and cosmopolitan Republic".
