French President Emmanuel Macron on Monday proposed a one-third reduction in the number of lawmakers in both houses of parliament.
In an address to the two chambers gathered at the Palace of Versailles, Macron said the change -- which he proposed while running for president -- would have "positive effects on the general quality of parliamentary work".
The Senate has 348 members, while the lower house National Assembly has 577.
