Abstract: Co-habitation in the French political system is a possible occurrence that may lead to political instability. However, the French constitutional founder has established preliminary solutions through provisions related to the executive authority — specifically, the President of the Republic and the government. Experience has shown that political solutions can emerge from bilateral meetings and negotiations, making cohabitation possible in the three cases of French experience. Nevertheless, cohabitation is considered a response to the reality imposed by elections, and engaging in it demonstrates respect for the popular legitimacy mandated by the ballot boxes. Nevertheless, the political will to collaborate cannot always be guaranteed due to its dependence on the individuals involved.
