Agénor

Bardoux (15 January 1829, Bourges,

Cher – 23 November 1897, Paris) was a French

statesman

and republican,

son of Jacques Bardoux (Moulins, 3 February 1795 – Clermont-Ferrand,

8 January 1871) and wife Thérèse Pignet (Limoges,

6 April 1807 – St. Saturnin, 25 March

1883). A native of Bourges, he was established as an advocate

in Clermont-Ferrand, and did not hesitate to

proclaim his Republican sympathies. In 1871 he was elected deputy of the French National Assembly, and re-elected

in 1876 and in 1877. In the chamber he was president of the Centre gauche

group, standing strongly for the republic but against anti-clericalism,

and during the constitutional crisis of May 1877 he was one of

the 363 signatories to the vote of no confidence. In the subsequently elected

republican chamber he became minister of public instruction

(December 1877) and proposed various republican laws, notably on compulsory

primary education. He resigned in 1879. He was not re-elected in 1881 but in

December 1882 was named senator for life. He married in Montpellier

on 15 July 1873 Clémence Villa (Millau, 26 December 1847 – Paris, 2 December 1939),

daughter of Achille Villa (Millau, 17 April 1818 – Millau,

7 April 1901) and wife Sophie Bimar (Montpellier,

13 October 1824 – Montpellier, 6 February 1885), by whom he had

at least one son, the French senator and academic Jacques

Bardoux. One of his descendants, Valéry Giscard d'Estaing (born 1926) was president of France from 1974 until 1981.
