Jean-Baptiste Amable Chanot
Jean-Baptiste Amable Chanot (born September 12, 1855 in Algiers , † January 13, 1920 in Marseille ) was a French lawyer and mayor of Marseille.
Chanot, born in Algiers, came to Aix-en-Provence to study law there. When he joined the Marseille Bar in 1876 , he quickly developed an interest in politics. He became a member of the left-wing liberal Parti républicain and was a co-founder of the newspaper Le Petit Provençal . Between 1889 and 1919 he was a member of the General Council of the Bouches-du-Rhône department . He was President of the General Council twice, from 1898 to 1899 and from 1901 to 1902. After the resignation of Siméon Flaissières , Chanot was elected Mayor of Marseille on August 5, 1902. In 1908 the increasingly nationalist-oriented politician was voted out of office, and from 1912 until his resignation in 1914 he held the office again. From 1910 to 1914 he also sat for the conservative Fédération républicaine in the National Assembly .
