The reactions
Rémi Delatte (LR), Member of Parliament for the Côte-d’Or : “Dijon loses one of its most passionate servants. In love with the stones of the city center whose story he could tell for hours on end like great contemporary architectural revolutions, Jean-François Bazin embodied this vision of a modern and constantly moving city, drawing its strength and authenticity from the centuries gone by. We owe Jean-François Bazin the face of Dijon neighborhoods such as Toison-d’Or or Clemenceau which bear witness to a resolutely modern spirit, but also to an attachment to what the city offers, for families and businesses alike. , a quality of life and urban planning on a human scale. This city, he told it during conferences always fascinating, but also in works which, even today, make reference. Without emphasis, this journalist by profession knew how to share his erudition and his love for our territory. This is also the case for the Burgundy region which he presided over and with which, again, he lived a powerful, almost intimate, admiration and ambition bond. A region which was not for him only a political or administrative entity, but a culture of which he was so fond and a framework of life and development which he wanted oriented as much towards the future as towards the people. Yes, Jean-François Bazin, who had written Dijon, time to live will have had time to leave a particularly strong imprint on our territory ”.
François Rebsamen (Ps), mayor of Dijon and president of Dijon Métropole : “I learned of the disappearance of Jean-François Bazin and I salute the memory of the one who, a Burgundian writer, was my political adversary. I extend my sincere condolences to his family and loved ones. ”
