Prince Jacques of Orléans, Duke of Orléans, Fils de France (Jacques Jean Jaroslaw Marie; born 25 June 1941 in Rabat, Morocco), is the son of Henri, Count of Paris (the Orléanist claimant to the French throne from 1940 until his death) and his wife, Princess Isabelle of Orléans-Braganza.
He married Gersende Thérèse Françoise de Sabran-Pontevès on 3 August 1969 in Ansouis-Vaucluse.

Her maternal grandmother was a direct descendant, in the male line, of the Bonapartist Marshal Jean Lannes.
