Alain Suguenot Seeks Sixth Term as Mayor of Beaune, Emphasizes Continuity and Transmission

Beaune, France – Incumbent Alain Suguenot is running for a sixth term as mayor of Beaune in the upcoming municipal elections, presenting a renewed team and a vision focused on completing ongoing projects and ensuring a smooth transition for future leadership. He formally announced his candidacy on January 6, 2025 [1], and officially presented his list, “La Nouvelle équipe 2026” (“The New Team 2026”) on February 27, 2026 [1] and February 28, 2026 [2].

A Renewed Team with a Focus on Continuity

Suguenot’s list, dubbed “Beaune à vivre – La Nouvelle Équipe” (“Beaune to Live – The New Team”), is comprised of 37 candidates, with 80% being new additions compared to his previous term [1]. He has stated that this renewal is intended to bring fresh perspectives and expertise to address the needs of Beaune’s residents. The team aims to build upon the economic development and attractiveness of the territory achieved during his tenure [2].

Key Priorities for the Next Term

Suguenot has outlined several key priorities for his potential sixth term, including:

• Health: Establishing a “House for Families and Caregivers” linked to the palliative care unit, and an “After-Hospital in Beaune” system to support patients transitioning home, particularly seniors [1].
• Youth and Sports: Updating the Municipal Schools of Initiation to Sports Activities (EMIAS) program to promote sports participation and civic engagement among young people [1].
• Housing: Planning for the creation of 1,100 new housing units over three years, with a focus on affordability and accessibility [2].
• Urban Planning: Requalifying the “Lorraine pole” – encompassing the Hôtel des Sociétés, Lorraine annex, and gymnasium – to create a new district in the heart of the city, featuring cultural spaces, a center for families and caregivers, and an artistic innovation hub [2].
• Security: Strengthening security measures with the implementation of a 24-hour infrared drone surveillance system and optimized camera positioning [1].
• Mobility: Renegotiating public transportation contracts to offer free bus service to residents and employees [1].

A Mandate of Transmission

Suguenot has openly stated his intention to use this term as a period of “transmission,” suggesting he does not intend to serve a full term and is already considering potential successors [1]. He emphasized the importance of completing current projects and initiating new ones during his term. He also highlighted the importance of Beaune maintaining its position as the president of the agglomeration to ensure continued development and attractiveness [2].
