Political career
Fontenel-Personne was elected in Sarthe's 3rd constituency at the 2017 legislative election.

In July 2019, Fontenel-Personne decided not to align with her parliamentary group's majority and became of 52 LREM members who abstained from a vote on the French ratification of the European Union’s Comprehensive Economic and Trade Agreement (CETA) with Canada.[3]
In late 2019, Fontenel-Personne was one of 17 members of the Defense Committee who co-signed a letter to Prime Minister Édouard Philippe in which they warned that the 365 million euro ($406 million) sale of aerospace firm Groupe Latécoère to U.S. fund Searchlight Capital raised “questions about the preservation of know-how and France’s defense industry base” and urged government intervention.[4][5]
She retired at the 2022 French legislative election. Her daughter Julie Delpech was elected MP for Sarthe's 1st constituency.
