From the Château de Versailles to the Elysée, the unshakable Catherine Pégard

Against all odds and well beyond her legal term, the former journalist who became adviser to President Nicolas Sarkozy held on as head of the Château de Versailles for 12 years. Forced out of her position in 2024, the skillful and tenacious Catherine Pégard quickly found a seat at the Elysée as culture adviser. Now, rumors suggest she could replace Rachida Dati, currently running for Paris City Hall, if she gives up her ministerial post.
