He was a member of the Conseil général of Saône-et-Loire for the canton of Mâcon-South from 1989 - 1995. He was active in promoting local economic development and the income guarantee called the revenu minimum d'insertion or RMI). As a representative of the French parliament to the parliamentary assembly of the Council of Europe, he bore responsibility for the additional protocol to the European Convention of Human Rights defining and protecting the rights of national minorities. He is quoted as saying "Along with decentralisation, it is the thing of which I am proudest during my twelve years in parliament". He died on 12 July 2019, four days before his 85th birthday.
