Aurélie Génolher, the 48-year-old mayor of Massillargues-Atuech, balances her demanding role with being a solo mother to three children and a viticulturist managing 22 hectares of organic vineyards. Her day begins addressing infrastructure issues like a flooded business zone and managing her children's school commutes. Génolher also serves as vice-president of Alès Agglomération and a regional councilor, a testament to her extensive political involvement since age 23. She is seeking her fourth term as mayor, unopposed in the upcoming election for the commune of 672 inhabitants. Her political journey was influenced by her grandfather, a long-serving local official, and she is committed to fostering teamwork despite disagreements, finding satisfaction in projects like the inauguration of an intergenerational park.
