Summary/Abstract: The French Parliament, like many other European parliaments, has been deeply affected by the Covid-19 pandemic. If, in an inventive manner, it has managed to reorganise in order to cope with the new challenges posed by the virus, on the other hand it almost abandoned its legislative power in favour of the Government and did not know to reinvent the control that it should exercise over the latter, in order to avoid a total concentration of power in the hands of the executive.
