{{Ancien Régime}}
Under the French [[Ancien Régime]], a '''''parlement''''' ({{IPA|fr|paʁləmɑ̃|-|Parlement.ogg}}) was a [[Provinces of France|provincial]] [[appellate court]] of the [[Kingdom of France]]. In 1789, France had 13 ''parlements'', the original and most important of which was the [[Parlement of Paris|''Parlement'' of Paris]]. Though both the modern French term ''parlement'' (for the legislature) and the English word "[[parliament]]" derive from this French term, the Ancien Régime parlements were not legislative bodies and the modern and ancient terminology are not interchangeable.<ref>{{Cite web|title=Parlement {{!}} historical supreme court, France|url=https://www.britannica.com/topic/Parlement|access-date=2020-10-18|website=Encyclopedia Britannica|language=en}}</ref>
