Life and career

Colliard was born to a Catholic family who moved to Le Havre in 1938. During his education, he was a member of Jeunesse Étudiante Chrétienne.[2] He became employed as a cement worker during the 1950s to help reconstruct the city following World War II.[2] He joined the PCF in 1955 and took on responsibilities at the party's headquarters.[2]

He was elected to the Municipal Council of Le Havre in 1956 and became deputy mayor to René Cance [fr] and André Duroméa [fr]. When Duroméa resigned on 10 October 1994, Colliard replaced him and became mayor of Le Havre. Colliard was elected to the National Assembly in 1993 and represented Seine-Maritime's 8th constituency from 1993 to 1997.[3] Additionally, he was General Councilor of the Canton of Le Havre-5 from 1976 to 1982.
