Even today's Fifth Republic in France mimics some models from other European constitutional monarchies, because of the stability and influence of the head of state (monarch or elected president) to preserve the territorial unity by an enforced balance of powers (not separated territorially but by domain of government). Unlike past republics, it even accepts and protects constitutionally the presence of nobility, religions or diverse cultures, as plain components and (non absolute) actors of the republic, even if it promotes (without enforcing it completely in all domains) its own unified system, freely accessible to all its nationals or applicable directly only to its foreign residents.
