Biography

Early life

Luc Lemonnier spent part of his childhood in Creil.

He was a student at the Gabriel-Havez college in Creil from 1979 to 1983.[1] Back in Le Havre, he took a DUT in marketing techniques at the University Institute of Technology in Le Havre and then graduated in 1992 from the National Insurance School (ENASS).[2] It is within the maritime company Maersk, in Le Havre, that he began his career.[3] In 1993, he joined MACSF, a mutual insurance company specializing in the health professions.[4] After the creation of an agency in Le Havre, he joined the Rennes agency in 1997 and became regional councillor for Brittany until 2003.[5]

In 2003, he chose to return to Le Havre and joined with his father to co-manage the family insurance firm AXA.[5]

Luc Lemonnier has four children.[6]

Political career

He became deputy mayor in 2013.[7] He was re-elected in the 2014 municipal elections on the list of Édouard Philippe,[8][9] of which he was the campaign manager,[10] and became first deputy.

In 2015, he was elected to the departmental council of Seine-Maritime (6th canton of Le Havre) in tandem with Christelle Msica Guerout.[11] He was delegated to finance, departmental domain and vehicle fleet.

Following the appointment of Édouard Philippe as Prime Minister, Luc Lemonnier was elected mayor of Le Havre on May 28, 2017.[7][12] He also succeeded him as president of the urban community of Le Havre on June 25, 2017 as well as at the Metropolitan centre of the Seine Estuary.[13]

He was a member of La France Audacieuse, a movement launched by Christian Estrosi.[14] In January 2018, he expressed his doubts about the renewal of his membership in LR, indicating that he had not “had good signs since the appointment of Laurent Wauquiez".[15]

In early 2019, he was accused of having repeatedly sent photos of himself naked to women without their consent.[16] On March 21, 2019, he resigned from his mandate as mayor because of this scandal.[17][18][19] According to Le Monde, he was forced to resign by Édouard Philippe.[20] On March 25, 2019, he also resigned from his functions of vice-president and departmental advisor of Seine-Maritime.[21]
