Émile Laurens was a Radical-Socialist deputy for Blois from 1935[1] to 1940 and a mayor of Blois.
He replaced Camille Chautemps as the deputy for Blois in a 1935 by-election where he narrowly beat the militant agrarian leader Henry Dorgères in the second round of voting.
He died during the Battle of France when the German army bombed the former Town Hall on 16 June 1940, killing him in the process.
