ancien regime
The Ancien Régime, translated as "Old Regime," was the political and social system of France prior to the French Revolution which took place from 1789-1799. This regime was characterized by monarchic rule, a highly stratified society with the privileged nobility and clergy at the top, lack of representational governance, and an economic system dominated by feudalism and later by mercantilism. The term "Ancien Régime" refers also more broadly to the old order of things, or the traditional system in many European countries before significant political changes occurred.

Ancien Régime
The Ancien Régime was the monarchic, aristocratic, social and political system established in the Kingdom of France from approximately the 15th century until the later 18th century under the late Valois and Bourbon dynasties. The administrative and social structures of the Ancien Régime were the result of years of state-building, legislative acts, internal conflicts and civil wars, but they remained a confusing patchwork of local privilege and historic differences until the French Revolution ended the system. Much of the medieval political centralization of France had been lost in the Hundred Years' War, and the Valois Dynasty's attempts at re-establishing control over the scattered political centres of the country were hindered by the Wars of Religion. Much of the reigns of Henry IV, Louis XIII and the early years of Louis XIV were focused on administrative centralisation. Despite, however, the notion of "absolute monarchy" and the efforts by the kings to create a centralized state, Ancien Régime France remained a country of systemic irregularities: administrative, legal, judicial, and ecclesiastic divisions and prerogatives frequently overlapped, while the French nobility struggled to maintain their own rights in the matters of local government and justice, and powerful internal conflicts protested against this centralization.
