In parliament, Michel served on the Defence Committee. In addition to her committee assignments, she was a member of the French-Australian Parliamentary Friendship Group and the French-Indian Parliamentary Friendship Group.[4]
In late 2019, Michel was one of 17 members of the 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 defence industry base” and urged government intervention.[5][6]
In 2020, Michel joined En commun (EC), a group within LREM led by Barbara Pompili.[7]
