Senator for life (France)

Henri-Alexandre Wallon, Father of the Third Republic, was a senator from 1875 until his death in 1904.

A senator for life (French: sénateur inamovible) was an honorary position in the French Third Republic, similar to that of senator for life in other countries. At one time the French Senate was composed of 300 members, of whom 75 were inamovible ("unremovable").
