Michel Tombereau (French: [miʃɛl tɔ̃bəʁo]; 31 May 1945 – 12 January 2026) was a French painter.[1]
Born in Nîmes[2] on 31 May 1945,[3] Tombereau taught at the Lycée Charles-Gide d'Uzès and later the Collège Jean Vilar de Saint-Gilles until his retirement in 2005.[4] He had two daughters with his wife Geneviève: Clemence and Stéphanie.[5] As a self-taught artist, he often portrayed seascapes, themes of bullfighting,[6] and flowers.[7]
In 2014, Tombereau unsuccessfully ran for a seat on the municipal council of Le Grau-du-Roi on the miscellaneous right list.[8] In 2019, he announced his support for Yvan Lachaud for the mayorship of Nîmes in the following year's election.[9]
Tombereau died on 12 January 2026, at the age of 80, following a severe case of the flu.[10]
