This morning, Monday 25 January 2021, it is eleven o’clock precisely when Françoise Souliman, new prefect of Eure-et-Loir arrives at the war memorials, butte des Charbonniers, in Chartres (Eure-et-Loir).
For his installation at the head of the prefecture of Eure-et-Loir, she laid a second wreath of flowers at the memorial in Jean Moulin. The ceremony was held in a small committee, a consequence of the health crisis.
–“I don’t want to deny the rurality”
Françoise Souliman said he was very “proud and happy” to have arrived in Eure-et-Loir, department that she knew little about. “I had come to visit my colleague, Nicolas Quillet, when he was acting prefect”, recalls the new prefect of Eure-et-Loir. Before adding: “my grandparents had obviously made me discover the cathedral of Chartres when I was five years old”.

The new prefect arrives from Ardèche, a department populated by “formidable entrepreneurs”, emphasizes Françoise Souliman, but deeply “endearing, because the inhabitants are proud to be Ardéchois”.
At least one field visit per week
Field woman, at 60, Françoise Souliman wishes to travel for “a major visit at least once a week”. She will be going to Dreux this evening (Eure-et-Loir), accompanied by Yannis Bouzar, his chief of staff, this Wednesday, at the vaccination center of Chartres metropolis, and next week, in an agricultural enterprise.
I come with fairly clear ideas. I do not want to deny the rurality. It will be necessary to widen the eyes, and to be of great listening. I give myself six months to take the pulse.
The new prefect did not fail to say a word about the Covid-19 pandemic and the recovery plan: “you have to be alongside businesses to get through this bad time”.
