Catherine Pégard fait appel à un expert pour le secrétariat général
Catherine Pégard, the president of the Palace of Versailles, has appointed Jérôme Rivoisy as the new Secretary General of the institution, effective April 7. Rivoisy, a 58-year-old high-ranking civil servant, replaces Luc Allaire and brings extensive experience from senior roles in the French government, including as director general of services at the Élysée Palace and as a master advisor at the Court of Auditors.
This appointment matters because it places a seasoned administrative and financial expert at the helm of the palace's core operational functions. Rivoisy will be responsible for managing Versailles's budget, human resources, legal affairs, and cross-departmental functions, indicating a strategic move to strengthen the institution's governance and operational efficiency under Pégard's leadership.
