Jean-Paul Baréty has passed away. He was 90 years old and had held the position of mayor of Nice from October 1993 to June 1995, during the transitional period following the resignation of Jacques Médecin.
From an illustrious family involved in the life of the Pays niçois from generation to generation, from Puget-Théniers to Nice, he presided over the Acadèmia nissarda, founded by his grandfather.
Jean-Paul Baréty succeeded Honoré Bailet, who resigned for health reasons. He was also elected as a deputy in March 1994, following the annulment of Christian Estrosi’s election by the Constitutional Council.
