Paul Chollet (10 April 1928 – 13 December 2022) was a French paediatrician and politician of the Union for French Democracy.[1] He served as Mayor of Agen from 1989 to 2001 and was a deputy of the National Assembly from 1986 to 1997.[2]

Biography

[edit]

Chollet graduated from the Faculty of Medicine at the University of Toulouse and worked as a pediatrician between Bordeaux and Toulouse in the 1960s. He founded the first Centre d'action médico-sociale précoce [fr] and Centre médico-psycho-pédagogique [fr] in Agen. He also founded the local branch of UNICEF.

Chollet began his political career as a municipal councillor in Agen in 1977. Four years later, he became deputy mayor and became General Councilor of the Canton of Agen-Centre [fr] in 1981. He was elected mayor of Agen in 1989 and resigned as General Councilor due to the law prohibiting certain dual mandates. He was president of the Amicale des maires de Lot-et-Garonne from 1989 to 2001.

In 1986, Chollet was elected to the National Assembly, representing Lot-et-Garonne through proportional representation.[3] He was re-elected in 1988 in Lot-et-Garonne's 1st constituency,[4] and re-elected again in 1993.[5] He remained in office until 21 April 1997.

Paul Chollet died in Agen on 13 December 2022, at the age of 94.[6]
