In 1971, Rue Gilbert Bonnemaison’s namesake, Mayor Gilbert Bonnemaison, hosted a pivotal moment in French political history. Right here in Épinay-sur-Seine, at the request of François Mitterrand, he organized the Épinay Congress. This congress marked Mitterrand’s ascent to the leadership of the Socialist Party. Rue Gilbert Bonnemaison, located in Épinay-sur-Seine, quietly commemorates this influential figure. Bonnemaison served as mayor of Épinay-sur-Seine for an impressive 27 years, from 1967 to 1995. He also held a seat in the National Assembly, representing Seine-Saint-Denis from 1981 to 1993. Beyond local politics, Bonnemaison became a nationally recognized figure. His expertise in security matters led him to chair a commission on the subject in 1982. The resulting “Bonnemaison Report” advocated for cooperation between national and local governments. It also pushed for preventative policies involving community organizations. This report significantly shaped French security policy, leading to the establishment of the National Council for Crime Prevention (CNPD) and similar councils at departmental and communal levels. Bonnemaison’s dedication extended to other areas. He became vice-president of the CNPD from 1983 to 1987. He also served as vice-president of the National Council of Cities. Rue Gilbert Bonnemaison stands as a testament to this man. He was not only a local leader but also a national influencer. His work on crime prevention continues to resonate in French society. His legacy is one of dedication to public service. It’s a legacy of improving the lives of those he served in Épinay-sur-Seine and beyond.
