Biography edit
Daugreilh is a professor of history and geography by training, and was close to the former mayor of Nice Jacques Médecin.[1]
In the 1988 French legislative election she was elected to the National Assembly in Alpes-Maritimes's 2nd constituency under the label Rally for the Republic (RPR) with 63.61% of the votes in the second round against the socialist candidate Patrick Mottard (36.39 %).[2] In October 1988, she tabled with forty-two of her colleagues a bill aimed at restoring the death penalty for certain crimes.
During the 1992 regional elections, she decided to run on a different list from that of her party, but failed to be elected. Its various right list entitled "Sauvons Nice" and bringing together socio-professionals, only collected 1.68% of the votes in the Alpes-Maritimes and 3% in Nice. In the 1993 French legislative election she did not stand for re-election in her constituency, thus leaving the field open to Christian Estrosi, designated by L'Express as being her “intimate enemy”.[3]
She was secretary general of the Nice circle of the Club de l'horloge.
At the end of the 2000s and until 2012, she directed the Mediterranean University Center in Nice, a place of cultural and intellectual exchange founded in 1933 by Jean Médecin, of whom Paul Valéry was a director. She holds the position of deputy director general of cultural development for the town hall of Nice.
In 2012, she was made a Knight of Arts et Lettres.[4]

She was the wife of Jean-Pierre Daugreilh,[5] one of the members of the Groupement de recherche et d'études pour la civilisation européenne,[6] which had deposited its statutes in 1969, who later became regional councillor for the Front national in Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur.[7]
