    Count Gilbert de Chambrun (1909–2009) was a French politician. He was a member of the French Resistance and he served in the National Assembly.

    Early life

    [edit]

    Gilbert de Chambrun was born on 2 November 1909 in Paris, France.[1][2] His father, Pierre de Chambrun, was a politician.[1] He was a descendant of Agrippa d'Aubigné and Gilbert du Motier, Marquis de Lafayette, and he was raised as a Calvinist.[2]

    De Chambrun was educated at the Lycée Janson de Sailly.[1] He graduated with a bachelor's degree in Laws from the University of Paris, and he received another degree from Sciences Po.[1]

    Career

    [edit]

    Chambrun joined the French Foreign Service in 1934, serving at the French embassy in Rome until 1938.[1] During World War II, he served in the French Army from 1939 to 1941.[1] He joined Combat, a group within the French resistance in 1942, and he served as a leader until 1944.[1][2] At the end of the war, he returned to the French Army, where he served under General Jean de Lattre de Tassigny.[2]

    De Chambrun served as a member of the National Assembly from 1945 to 1955, representing Lozère.[1] He was opposed to the First Indochina War as well as the establishment of the European Coal and Steel Community, the European Defence Community, and NATO.[2] He was the vice president of the Mouvement pour la paix, a non-profit organization which promoted nuclear disarmament.[2]

    De Chambrun resumed his position in the Foreign Service in 1956.[2] Meanwhile, he also served as the mayor of Marvejols from 1953 to 1965, and again from 1971 to 1983.[2] He was a Commander of the Legion of Honour and the National Order of Merit.[1] He was a recipient of the Croix de guerre and the Resistance Medal for his World War II service.[1]

    De Chambrun published his memoir as well as a novel and several plays.[2]

    Personal life and death

    [edit]

    De Chambrun married Jacqueline Retourné, a paediatrician whom he met in the Maquis du Mont Mouchet.[3] They had four children.[3] He died on 22 December 2009 in Marvejols, Lozère, France.[1] He was 100 years old.[2]
