The French National Assembly is one of the two chambers of the French Parliament, the other being the Senate. It plays a crucial role in the legislative process by debating and voting on proposed laws. Members of the National Assembly, known as deputies, are elected by the public and serve five-year terms. The Assembly also has the power to question and oversee the government's actions, ensuring accountability and transparency in public administration.

Located in the Palais Bourbon in Paris, the National Assembly consists of 577 deputies. It operates through various committees that specialize in different areas of public policy, such as finance, social affairs, and foreign relations. The Assembly's website offers comprehensive resources, including information on current deputies, legislative documents, public sessions, and educational materials about its history and functions. The platform facilitates public engagement through petitions and provides access to live broadcasts of parliamentary debates.
