He served as the Prefect of Paris from 1966 to 1969 before being appointed as the Delegate General for the District of the Paris Region (Prefect of the Île-de-France region) from 1969 to 1975. During this crucial post-war development era, he acted as a master planner tasked by General de Gaulle with bringing structural order to the capital, heavily coordinating the expansion of public transportation networks like the RER and managing the development of surrounding \"new towns\". He also played a vital administrative role as a primary organizer of the 1968 Winter Olympics in Grenoble. Following his retirement from civil service, Doublet shifted directly into party politics alongside Jacques Chirac, becoming Chirac's first Chief of Staff as Mayor of Paris from 1977 to 1979 and subsequently serving as a Member of the European Parliament (MEP) from 1980 to 1981.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Postcard Finder","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56922485489990,"sku":null,"price":49.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0965\/3216\/9030\/files\/20260707_056.jpg?v=1783439165","url":"https:\/\/postcardfinder.co.uk\/products\/maurice-doublet-french-politician-official-headed-paper-hand-signed-autograph","provider":"Postcard Finder","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
