Lucette Michaux-Chevry (5 March 1929 – 9 September 2021)[1] was a French politician, who served as President of the Regional Council of the overseas department of Guadeloupe[2] between 1992 and 2004.

"[1][4] Michaux-Chevry was born in 1929 in Saint-Claude, Guadeloupe,[5] as the fourth of ten children, and completed her law studies at the Sorbonne University in Paris.

According to her obituary in Le Monde,She did not abandon her native Guadeloupe, where she multiplied the mandates almost until the end of her life: she was in total three times mayor (Gourbeyre, then Basse-Terre), twice senator (from 1995 to 2011), twice deputy (from 1986 to 1993) and twice president of the region (from 1992 to 2004).

In January 2019, she resigned from the presidency of the agglomeration community Grand Sud Caraïbe and announced, at nearly 90 years old, to put an end to her political career, causing an earthquake locally.

[4] Her daughter, Marie-Luce Penchard, became a minister under the Nicolas Sarkozy presidency, and like her mother, she has pursued a career in local and national politics.
