The French Social Party (French: Parti Social Français, PSF) was a French nationalist political party founded in 1936 by François de La Rocque, following the dissolution of his Croix-de-Feu league by the Popular Front government. France's first right-wing mass party, prefiguring the rise of Gaullism after the Second World War,[1] it experienced considerable initial success but disappeared in the wake of the fall of France in 1940 and was not refounded after the war.
