Great Council of the State and Empire

The Grand Council of the State and the Empire (French: Grand conseil de l'Etat et de l'Empire), abbreviated as Grand Council is the main body of the Regime of Marshals. An organization that holds and applies a great deal of control over government institutions, replacing the Military Committee of National Salvation and Preservation of the Empire in February 1927, it becomes by the July 1927 plebiscite an official state body. The council usually met at the Matignon hotel, Paris, which was also the seat of head of the French government.
