DECRYPTION – Succeeding a very media-focused minister Rue de Valois, the ex-journalist stands out for his discretion. If the method has paid off so far, it must now move into the public arena, while work on the “Grand Louvre” will begin.
On May 16, Catherine Pégard plans to go to the Cannes Film Festival, an obligatory and exhilarating visit for any Minister of Culture. That evening, after having brought together the European Ministers of Culture, it is with the director Javier Bardem that she should make the famous climb of the steps.
May she forgive us, but we imagine that she will be dressed in black, far from the sartorial extravagances of the guests at the recent Met Gala in New York: for as long as we can remember, the new Minister of Culture has always been dressed soberly: black, navy blue, beige, it depends. “I know that I am often described as being a discreet woman. It’s my nature, just look at me, anyway.” she admits a few days before the start of Cannes, over lunch « léger ».
