Christophe Leribault, 60, from the Musée d'Orsay, will be appointed head of the Palace of Versailles this Wednesday, February 13. The Orsay teams are said to be almost in mourning, as if they had lost a boss who always knew how to make himself loved.

The surprise is that if Catherine Pgard, 69, who preceded him as director of the royal estate, had been past retirement age for a while, no one anymore thought that Emmanuel Macron would find a replacement for her before September next year.
