Elected mayor in 2020, Xavier Bionne has, in the space of four years, been able to energize and strengthen the unique identity of Mondeville, a village proud of its rural character. With his municipal team, he has initiated unifying projects, mixing tradition and modernity. Events such as the Marché’phémères, the Mondevélo or the inauguration of the enameled panels last May, demonstrate his desire to bring together Mondevillois of all ages. He has also been able to forge links on social networks with the Saga de l’été on YouTube. We have always had very involved mayors in Mondeville, but Xavier, because of his youth, was very approachable.e, confides Stéphanie Grenault, deputy mayor. He was always there at the town hall and at school. All the children knew him, they sometimes ate in the canteen with them. He was also there for the meals of the elders and we never had so many people. Conviviality was very important to him. »
The town of Mondeville and the department of Essonne will remember a mayor devoted to highlighting those who undertake in the village, whatever their field and age. He defended his town tooth and nail, not being afraid to go against the grain sometimes, because his priority was always his village.
