Christophe Leribault, president of the Musée d'Orsay, is appointed head of the Palace of Versailles. He will take up his new position from March 4, less than five months before the Paris Olympic Games.
Catherine Pgard was appointed in 2011 by the former President of the Republic Nicolas Sarkozy to head the public establishment of the château, museum and national estate. She served three terms under three different presidents, a record. The temporary work she has been doing since 2022 is also unprecedented, even if the law did not prohibit it.
