René-Pierre Signé, the French politician who served as mayor of Château-Chinon and as a senator, died October 12, 2026, aged 96.
Born on September 16, 1930, he was a member of the Socialist Party and represented the Nièvre department in the Senate from 1986 to 2011. Signé became mayor of Château-Chinon in 1981, five years before entering the Senate.
He held the municipal office until 2008, while his senatorial service continued for three years beyond the end of his mayoralty. His public career thus joined local government in Château-Chinon with parliamentary representation of Nièvre. The two roles overlapped for much of his time in the Senate, placing his municipal and departmental service alongside one another. His listed offices span 1981 to 2011, with his work as mayor preceding and then running concurrently with his Senate service.
