Laurence Cristol

Laurence Cristol (born 8 November 1967) is a French politician of Renaissance (RE) who served as a member of the National Assembly for Hérault's 3rd constituency from 2022 to 2024.

Biography Laurence Cristol is a geriatrician specializing in Oncology at the Montpellier Regional Cancer Institute (Val d'Aurelle). She has been married since 1992 to Jean-Paul Cristol, a university professor and hospital practitioner at Montpellier University Hospital. Together they have four children born between 1994 and 2005.

She was appointed Knight of the Ordre national du Mérite on July 10, 2021 for “her exemplary professional career as a geriatric oncologist, her research activities in geriatric oncology, her involvement in community life, her training activities for caregivers and students, her supervision of theses, and her chairing and moderating of conference sessions.”

She is one of the parliamentarians who holds shares in the multinational TotalEnergies (worth around €8,700), which raises ethical and political questions, particularly during debates and votes in the Assembly relating to climate change, rising fuel prices, and taxes on superprofits. For France 3, the fact that she sits on the Social Affairs Committee makes her situation less problematic than that of some of her colleagues who sit on committees more directly involved in energy issues.
