The National Assembly of France has voted to extend the state of emergency for six months.
The move follows last week's attack in Nice in which 84 people were killed and scores injured when a lorry was driven into crowds.
The state of emergency was brought in after attacks in Paris in November that left 130 people dead.
Prime Minister Manuel Valls said France must expect more deadly attacks despite precautions taken by his government, according to the (BBC).
Speaking at the debate in the National Assembly, he said France would have to learn to live with the threat.
"Even if these words are hard to say, it's my duty to do so," he said.
"There will be other attacks and there will be other innocent people killed. We must not become accustomed, we must never become accustomed, to the horror, but we must learn to live with this menace," he added.
The extension agreed in the early hours of Wednesday would take the state of emergency until the end of January 2017. It is the fourth extension France's parliament has proposed and the move must be approved by the Senate.
