Georges Benedetti was born to François Benedetti, who was the mayor of Antisanti. Georges followed in his father's political footsteps and became a Senator from Gard under the Socialist Party in 1981. He was also the mayor of Bagnols-sur-Cèze from 1976 to 1989. He was a member of the Board of Directors from the Regional Institute of Cinema and Audiovisual from 1992 until his death.
