The 2004 French regional elections saw Jean-Vincent Placé being elected as a member of the regional council of Île-de-France, on a list of candidates led by Socialist Jean-Paul Huchon, as the result of an alliance between The Greens and the Socialist Party. Placé was subsequently elected as the head of the Green group within the council.
In 2011, under EELV membership, Placé was elected as senator for the department of Essonne. In 2012, he became the first president of the newly-formed Ecologist group in the French Senate.
In 2014, Placé publicly criticized the "leftist" direction his party was allegedly taking and lamented it had become "the party of Romani people and Palestine" instead of focusing on environmental issues. Eventually, in 2015, upset by talks of alliance between EELV and the Left Front for the regional elections, Jean-Vincent Placé and François de Rugy both left EELV and founded their own centre-left, green party, Écologistes ! (later the Ecologist Party). The party then participated in the creation of political group Union des démocrates et des écologistes (UDE) of which Placé became the first president.
From 2016 to 2017, he was appointed by then-Prime Minister Manuel Valls as "Secretary of State for State Reform and Simplification" in Valls's second government. In order to access government office, Placé stepped down from his positions as senator and president of the Senate's Ecologist group.
In 2016, Placé applied for the honorary title of Colonel of the citizen reserve forces within the 13th Parachute Dragoon Regiment.
In December 2016, when Bernard Cazeneuve was appointed Prime Minister, Placé retained his position within his government as Secretary of State for State Reform and Simplification.
In the 2017 Socialist primaries, Jean-Vincent Placé showed support for former Prime Minister Manuel Valls, who eventually lost the primary to Benoît Hamon. Placé then backed the Socialist candidate Hamon during the presidential campaign.
Following the formation of Prime Minister Édouard Philippe's first government in 2017, Placé was no longer a member of the French government and took back his position within the Senate, this time as a member of the Socialist and Republican group.
In September 2017, after being mugged in the streets of Paris, he publicly expressed his desire to put his political career on hold, thus declining to stand in the then-upcoming senatorial elections. When Placé made his announcement, his name was not on any candidate list for the Senate. He remained a member of the regional council of Île-de-France.
In April 2018, following issues with alcoholism and a publicized incident in a Paris nightclub, Placé resigned from his position as president of UDE.
