Overview

  • Jean Tiberi died on May 27 at age 90, and Paris lowered flags at municipal sites and opened condolence registers to mark his passing.
  • He served as mayor of Paris from 1995 to 2001, succeeding Jacques Chirac and remaining the city's final right-leaning leader until his defeat by Bertrand Delanoë.
  • Tiberi also held the 5th arrondissement mayoralty until 2014 while serving 44 uninterrupted years in the National Assembly as a deputy.
  • His tenure introduced Paris’s first municipal bike plan and launched an early tramway project that laid groundwork for later network expansion.
