Stéphane Bern in tears at the death of Frédéric Mitterrand, the media talk about the Chartainvilliers canteen, the prefect of Eure-et-Loir pinned in the newspaper Le Canard Enchaîné… Discover the indiscretions of the week of March 18 to 24 in Eure -et-Loir and in Sud-Yvelines.
Consolation
The opening evening of the Regards d’ailleurs film festival, in Dreux, was enough to cheer up the entire organizing team, starting with Thierry Méranger, president of the Fenêtre sur Films association and father of the event, which is celebrating its 21st anniversary. The whole range of personalities was present at Wednesday’s evening: Olivier Marleix, LR deputy for Dreux; Christophe Le Dorven (LR), president of the Department, Pierre-Frédéric Billet (LR), mayor of Dreux and his deputy for culture, Fouzia Kamal; Gérard Sourisseau, president of the Agglo du Pays de Dreux; the prefect of Eure-et-Loir, Hervé Jonathan, and the new sub-prefect of Dreux, Christophe Heriard; Évelyne Mège, director of departmental services of National Education; Delphine Benassy (Ecology and solidarity group), vice-president of the Centre-Val de Loire region in charge of culture, in particular.
This strong representation is a first in twenty years of existence. Enough to console a little the cinema teacher at Rotrou high school, and all those who worked for the opening of an audiovisual prep class to complete the cinema option. It was never granted to Dreux because “we no longer open this type of preparatory class for the grandes écoles,” explained the former rector of the Orléans-Tours Academy. However, such a class has just opened its doors in Orléans (Loiret).
From elsewhere: Tony Gatlif expected in Dreux on Tuesday: “My heroines are free women”
The teachers and the director of the music school to pay tribute in song
Unlike other ceremonies, it is not through the speakers that the people of Nogent gathered to commemorate the National Day of Remembrance and Reflection in memory of the civilian and military victims of the Algerian War and the fighting in Tunisia and in Morocco, this Tuesday March 19, heard La Marseillaise resound. Six teachers from the Lucien-Blin municipal music school, including the director, played several pieces.
A return to instrumental music during the commemorations, after a first attempt, on November 11, with two musicians. “I hope there will be even more of them next time,” shared the mayor of Nogent-le-Rotrou, Harold Huwart (PR), during his speech at the Simone-Signoret room. “We are going to recreate municipal harmony, which was dissolved twenty-five years ago. » An announcement which must, according to our information, be confirmed during the municipal council debate on the budget. “One day, we will again organize a parade from the town hall to Place de la République. » Joke or real project? In any case, a little music can only attract eyes… and ears, to the ceremonies.
Memory: “Let us be fighters for peace”, says Fnaca at the commemoration of March 19 in Nogent-le-Rotrou
On the media menu: the Chartainvilliers canteen
Since March 11, parents of students from Chartainvilliers, whose children are part of the Saint-Piat-Mévoisins-Chartainvilliers and Soulaires educational group, have been angry. They denounce the increase to almost €12 in the daily rate of the canteen, when parents from the other three municipalities in the educational group pay €6.21. A petition, “No to the discrimination of Carnutes children!”, published on the “Les Lignes Bougent” website, collected 1,131 signatures (yesterday at 12 p.m., Editor’s note). Their fight is becoming more and more publicized. After topics broadcast on France 3 and the news channels Cnews and BFM/TV, the subject occupied the debate on the radio show Les Grandes Gueules, yesterday morning, on RMC.
Controversy: parents still mobilized against the €12 canteen for the children of Chartainvilliers
11 million euros for the Citroën test center
When the buyers of the site sold by the Stellantis group, in La Ferté-Vidame, came to Senonches town hall on February 9, they were very vague about the purchase price of the 800 hectares of woods and meadows on which Citroën had established its famous test center. An internal Stellantis document has circulated in recent days, according to our information, indicating that the site was sold to France Valley, at a price of 11 million euros. A sum which apparently leaves local observers perplexed, when we know that there is a very beautiful forest area, which undoubtedly interests the company specializing in forestry investment. But what about the tracks and buildings which hosted Citroën and then PSA tests for more than a hundred years?
Industry: who bought the Stellantis testing center in La Ferté-Vidame?
July 14 organized by the Eure-et-Loir prefecture, does not delight the gendarmes
The Eure-et-Loir prefecture should once again organize the July 14 parade in Chartres, with local security forces. An event, very popular locally, initiated by the former prefect of Eure-et-Loir, Françoise Souliman, which had not taken place for years. According to our information, the 2024 parade does not seem to attract the support of some of the security forces, in the context of the Parisian organization of the Olympic Games, which mobilizes around 130 police officers and gendarmes from Eure-et-Loir. .
A mobilization of staff which will inevitably impact the daily lives of civil servants and soldiers remaining in Eure-et-Loir to ensure activity, in a situation of understaffing.
The restored singer Pierpoljak, will he be there at Marcel Festoch’?
At the beginning of the month, Pierpoljak suffered a heart attack which forced him to cancel or postpone all his concert dates. Will the reggae singer travel to the Marcel Festoch’ in Illiers-Combray on June 2, where he is scheduled for the second time in a row? The organizers say that he “very much wants to come” and his arrival is therefore confirmed.
Festival: the Marcel Festoch’, in Illiers-Combray, already has its anthem!
The prefect of Eure-et-Loir in Le Canard Enchaîné
The president protested against the new provisions for prioritizing requests contained in an evaluation grid put in place by the prefecture of Eure-et-Loir. “The discriminatory criterion of administrative situation (French national, foreigner in a regular situation, in an irregular situation, etc.) poses a problem and clashes with the values of the association,” confided Denis Vernadat.
“TER Accéléré”: 22 minutes less on the Paris-Tours journey?
Valérie Pécresse, president of the Ile-de-France Region, organized a meeting with mayors on Wednesday evening at the headquarters of the Regional Council in Saint-Ouen (Seine-Saint-Denis). Among them was Fabien Verdier, mayor (SE) of Châteaudun and president of Grand Châteaudun. “We talked about mobility and train lines, a topic on which she is competent,” says the councilor who has for many years wanted to open up the south of Eure-et-Loir with an improvement of the TER Paris- Châteaudun-Tours which he calls “accelerated TER”. “We must prioritize the TER over the RER C with a siding, between Dourdan (Essonne) and Brétigny-sur-Orge (Essonne), and signaling work.
This would allow a reduction in travel time of 22 minutes and an increase in the number of daily return trips which would clearly benefit the Dunois and Beaucerons but also the inhabitants of Essonne and Yvelines. » This project is also one of the “positive” arguments presented by Fabien Verdier in the city of Châteaudun’s application file to host the future PSG (Paris Saint-Germain) stadium. Valérie Pécresse announced in February that she wanted to help PSG in its quest for a new stadium and wants to “open up all possibilities” for a stadium outside Paris. Is Châteaudun one of these “possibilities”? “We did not talk about the new PSG stadium with Valérie Pécresse,” says Fabien Verdier.

Bern, from laughter to tears
Elected last Sunday as a municipal councilor for Thiron-Gardais, the host, journalist, writer and actor Stéphane Bern was able to savor his electoral victory by displaying a broad smile when the results of the election were announced. The municipal partial elections in fact mobilized more than 45% of the Thironnais electorate and Stéphane Bern collected 97.36% of the votes cast.
But, on Thursday, while he participated in the show C à Vous, on France 5, he learned live of the announcement of the death of Frédéric Mitterrand. The elected representative from Thiron, this time in tears, paid tribute to “a model and a friend”, he said. He also indicated that Frédéric Mitterrand should not have entered politics, because it had subsequently kept him away from TV sets. The model is therefore not always an example to follow.

A voice against school bullying
The Chartres high school student Louis Alexandre, 17, who attended the Silvia-Monfort high school in Luisant, and who in 2021 directed the film 180 Jours, on school bullying, went to the Ministry of National Education on Thursday, in Paris. He was received by Cécile Laloux, educational advisor to the minister, Nicole Belloubet. “I met her for an hour and we discussed the themes of school bullying and grade pressure. I made several proposals, particularly in the face of pressure from grades, to reorganize Pronote, for example, by limiting access to the general average. » Several projects were mentioned, he says, including that of organizing a broadcast of the film 180 days at the Ministry of National Education.

“We had enriching exchanges,” continues Louis Alexandre. “The ministry would like me to be a figure against harassment to participate, in particular, in November, in the next national campaign. » The film 180 Days could also be broadcast nationally, he reports.
