VERSAILLES : Détresse Financière et Érosion de la démocratie locale
Versailles se classe désormais parmi les moins performantes d’Île-de-France, en raison de la détérioration de sa gestion financière et de ses services publics au cours des dernières années.
Pour obtenir des informations sur l’audit, l’intégralité des informations financières est disponible sur la page du bilan de mandat.
En dépit de ses atouts évidents, Versailles a été entraînée dans une gestion risquée tant sur le plan financier que dans la gestion des affaires publiques
La municipalité actuelle, dirigée par FRANÇOIS DE MAZIÈRES, n’a pas su prévoir et a laissé des dérives s’installer de façon durable.
L’enquête a été menée par le site Bilan de Mandat, qui a rassemblé les données budgétaires mises en ligne par le ministère des Finances sur une période de 7 ans
Situation économique critique de Versailles
Versailles est confrontée à une période financière troublée, avec un endettement en forte hausse et des doutes sur la gestion de ses dépenses. Une exploration minutieuse des critiques significatives et de leurs conséquences.
La dette et ses caractéristiques
La municipalité de Versailles est affectée par un endettement qui a pris des proportions ingérables. Cette situation a des implications notables :
- Augmentation des frais d’emprunt : L’augmentation de la dette génère des frais d’intérêt accrus, limitant les fonds disponibles pour d’autres investissements.
- Diminution des capacités financières pour l’investissement : Un endettement excessif compromet la capacité de la commune à financer des projets d’infrastructure et des services publics fondamentaux.
- Menace de défaut de remboursement : Un niveau d’endettement ingérable accroît le risque de non-paiement, ce qui va entraîner des conséquences financières ou des limitations imposées par les créanciers.
- Désengagement des investisseurs : L’instabilité financière va dissuader les investisseurs, entravant le développement économique de la localité.
- Répercussions sur la notation de crédit: Une dette ingérable accroît le risque de non-paiement, ce qui va engendrer des conséquences financières ou des limitations imposées par les créanciers.
Rémunération des collaborateurs
Les salaires des agents municipaux constituent une part importante des dépenses, atteignant en 2025 un niveau préoccupant sans que les rémunérations n’augmentent en conséquence. Les répercussions de cette situation sont variées :
- Découragement des agents de longue date : Le manque d’augmentation salariale pour les agents de longue date va provoquer une démotivation, impactant la qualité des services offerts.: Turnover significatif
- Taux de rotation élevé : Des salaires figés vont pousser les agents à explorer d’autres opportunités, entraînant un turnover accru et des coûts de formation supplémentaires pour la commune.
- Écarts de rémunération : Les différences de rémunération entre les nouveaux employés et les agents de longue date vont générer des tensions au sein de l’équipe municipale.
- Baisse de la qualité des services publics : Un personnel peu engagé et changeant va nuire à la qualité des services publics, affectant directement les citoyens.
- Tension sur le budget: L’exigence de garantir des salaires attractifs pour recruter de nouveaux talents va entraîner une pression supplémentaire sur le budget communal.
Réduction de la qualité des services publics VERSAILLAIS
Une gestion financière peu rigoureuse entraînera inévitablement des coupes dans les budgets des services publics d’ici 2026-2027, ce qui se traduit par :
- Diminution du nombre d’employés : Insuffisance de personnel pour garantir des services cruciaux tels que la propreté, la sécurité ou l’éducation.
- Fréquence des services réduite : Diminution des collectes de déchets et horaires limités pour les bibliothèques et centres communautaires.
- Réduction de la satisfaction des utilisateurs : Les usagers, déjà en désaccord avec les services municipaux, seront les premiers à subir la baisse de la qualité des services, malgré une contribution supérieure à la moyenne.
Problèmes pour attirer et conserver les talents
L’instabilité de la ville, tant sur le plan financier que sur celui de l’exemplarité, compliquera l’attraction et la rétention des talents, tant dans le personnel municipal que dans le tissu associatif :
- Taux de départ élevé : Les employés vont se tourner vers d’autres opportunités, entraînant des coûts considérables en matière de formation et d’intégration.
- Réduction des compétences : L’absence de personnel aguerri nuira à la qualité des services et à l’innovation dans la collectivité.
- Complications pour la mise en œuvre des projets: Le manque de personnel qualifié pourrait retarder ou mettre en danger des projets vitaux pour la collectivité.
- Démotivation causée par un désintérêt pour une ville qui, en 5 ans, s’est imposée comme l’une des principales cités dortoirs de son département.
Conséquences sur la croissance économique locale
Une gestion financière inadéquate aura des effets sur le développement économique, en particulier :
- Baisse des investissements : Les entreprises pourraient être réticentes à s’établir dans une collectivité en crise financière, restreignant ainsi les possibilités d’emploi.
- Diminution de l’attrait : Une gestion médiocre va altérer l’image de la collectivité, rendant difficile l’arrivée de nouveaux résidents ou investisseurs.
- Diminution des associations : Les collectivités en crise auront du mal à nouer des partenariats avec d’autres entités, restreignant ainsi les possibilités de collaboration.

Les associations locales ont un impact majeur dans le domaine culturel. Pour trouver les informations d’une association, n’hésitez pas à consulter l’annuaire en ligne sur le site de la mairie de Versailles
De quelle manière peut-on prendre part aux activités des associations ?
Dans chaque commune, on constate que le nombre d’associations et l’organisation de leurs activités (théâtre, festival…) sont significatifs et ne sont pas influencés par la politique de la mairie. Les associations, comme partout en France, proposent une variété d’événements tout au long de l’année. Pour ceux qui souhaitent s’impliquer, il est facile de s’inscrire à ces activités sur le web, où un simple clic donne accès à l’agenda des événements ou aux coordonnées des organisateurs.

Quelles sont les activités liées à la culture et à l’histoire ?
L’évolution d’une ville est le reflet de sa culture. La mairie ou l’hôtel de ville, les photos anciennes de l’école, et les compétences des métiers traditionnels offrent une découverte gratuite, ainsi qu’une transmission et une préservation de ce patrimoine local. Partout en France, les politiques de sensibilisation veillent à ce que le patrimoine de la ville soit préservé et accessible pour les générations futures.

Retranscription des paroles de la vidéo: The history of Versailles Once upon a time there was a French king called Louis XIII. A keen hunter, Louis XIII discovered
there was plenty of game at Versailles so he decided, in 1623, to build a hunting lodge there in order to indulge in his favourite pastime. This hunting lodge was only “small” and not
particularly comfortable, but he liked it there. When Louis XIII died, his eldest son, Louis XIV, became king. But at just four years of age, Louis XIV was too young to take the throne. Instead, his mother, Anne of Austria, ruled,
together with Cardinal Mazarin until the king came of age.
This is what is known as a Regency. During Louis XIV’s childhood, the nobility
rebelled against the Queen Regent and Mazarin in a revolt called the ‘Fronde’. Louis XIV was still a child
and had to flee Paris because his life was in danger. He would never forget that… Louis came of age when he was 13
and was able to take over as ruler of France. He was officially made king and, six years later,
he married Maria Theresa of Austria. The young king chose the sun as his emblem. Because, just like the sun, he was second to nobody or nothing nec pluribus impar, in the original Latin which became his official motto. Out of a desire to be far from Paris and with bad
memories of the ‘Fronde’ still lingering Louis XIV decided to set up his government in Versailles. Before relocating the royal family and some 7,000 courtiers there he had major extension work done. What was once a modest hunting lodge was gradually transformed into a sumptuous royal palace,
where luxury and parties were the order of the day. Like an orchestra conductor the king organised every minute
of his days and those of his courtiers. He also established etiquette – a system of rules
governing the way of life and behaviour at court. The king’s day began at 8.30 am with the king’s getting-up
ceremony, which was performed in public. At 10 am he attended mass and then, at 11 am, he instructed his council. Lunch was at 1 pm, when the king generally ate
alone at the table, but again, in public. The afternoon was spent hunting or walking and, at 10 pm, the king dined in the company of the royal family. His day ended with the king’s going-to-bed ceremony,
at around 11.30 pm, which, yet again, was performed in public. Louis XIV was not just a well-organised king he was also a lover of all disciplines of art. He surrounded himself with the greatest artists of the day. Under his reign, Versailles boosted the reputation
of France throughout the world. It was at his initiative, also, that
the magnificent French-style gardens and famous Hall of Mirrors were created. The Sun King died at the age of 77,
after 72 years on the throne. The longest reign in France’s history. The king is dead, long live the king! Upon Louis XIV’s death, his great-grandson,
Louis XV, became king of France. As he was too young to reign alone his great-uncle, Philippe d’Orléans, became
Regent and ruled France. Once he came of age, Louis XV became king. He married Marie Leszczynska,
daughter of the king of Poland. He would go on to have no fewer than 10 children with her! Although he had a quick mind, the king was
lacking in self-confidence and so was rather a low-key king – one who preferred the intimate
surroundings of the Palace’s private apartments to life in public. The reign of Louis XV was one of contrasts, marked by,
on the one hand, great military successes for France in Europe and, on the other, the loss of control of a large
part of its colonial empire. When not preoccupied by war the king was interested in history and geography. He was also an amateur botanist and encouraged scientific expeditions to bring
back plants from faraway lands. In a bid to strengthen his alliances in Europe Louis XV decided to marry off his grandson,
the future Louis XVI to Marie-Antoinette, daughter of
the Empress of Austria, Maria-Theresa. Four years after this marital union, Louis XVI
became king on the death of his grandfather. The new king was very anxious, on account of his youth. This led him to implore : “My God, guide us
and protect us. We are too young to reign.” Louis XVI was a sophisticated king : familiar with the philosophy of the
Enlightenment, he spoke English fluently and was also, at heart, an engineer with a keen interest in clockmaking and locksmithing. she was a queen who could not get used to life at court est une reine qui a du mal à s’habituer à la vie de cour and who preferred the tranquillity of the Petit Trianon where she liked to take refuge with those closest to her. She was especially interested in theatre and fashion. Louis XVI surrounded himself with the greatest scientists of the day. Indeed, it was during his reign that the round-the-world expedition of La Pérouse set off with the aim, primarily, of exploring the Pacific Ocean. He also attended the first hot air-balloon flight
in 1783, with Marie-Antoinette. This was also the first time a sheep, a duck and a cock soared to an altitude of more than 500 metres. But not far from the court and all its splendour the people were growing restless, burdened
by taxes and a lack of food. A revolution was brewing. In May 1789, France was bankrupt prompting Louis XVI to summon
the EstatesGeneral to introduce reforms. But, seeing that this would not succeed,
the representatives of the people the Third Estate some members of the church the clergy and the nobility gatheredin the Royal Tennis Court at Versailles where they tookan oath to establish
a constitution for France with new, more egalitarian, laws. On 14 July 1789, the people decided to take up arms and take over a symbol of power : the Bastille prison. This episode marked the start of the Revolution. The crisis continued during the months that followed and, finally, the people decided to march on Versailles. The royal family was forced to leave Versailles for Paris. Their departure proved to be final and the Palace ceased to be the residence of kings from that point on. Two years later, the royal family attempted to escape undercover but the kingwas recognised in Varennes
from his profile on a coin, so the family was detained… The people saw this attempt to escape a treason. Louis XVI was imprisoned, then judged and sentenced to death marking the end of the monarchy. Marie-Antoinette spent her final days locked up in prison at the Conciergerie in Paris
before suffering the same fate as her husband. After the Revolution, the Palace was abandoned
and the furniture sold at auction. And so, the curtain came down on Versailles. After almost 20 years of neglect, Versailles emerged from its torpor with the arrival of Napoleon. The emperor of the French undertook renovations particularly of the estate of Trianon, which had been left derelict. It then had to wait for the arrival onto the scene
of Louis-Philippe, king of the French… who decided to turn the Palace of Versailles into a museum dedicated to all the glories of France. In particular, he arranged for the creation of a great gallery 120 metres long, to depict the great battles
throughout the history of France. This is the Gallery of Battles. Seat of power and, for a long time, the capital of the Republic Versailles still retains a strong political dimension. At the beginning of the third Republic,
the entire French government moved to the Palace then the chambers of senators and deputies
based themselves there – one in the Royal Opera House
and the other in a room that was built specially for it : today’s Congress Chamber. During the First World War, the Palace
was forced to close its doors to visitors. This was the first time it had done so
since Louis-Philippe opened his museum. Once the war was over, it was at Versailles that the heads of state
of the warring countries met to sign the peace treaty. It is actually called the Treaty of Versailles and was signed in the Hall of Mirrors. During the Second World War the Palace, fearing an aerial attack,
put everything it could into storage. The Grand Canal was drained
and certain sculptures were boarded up. The works were distributed for storage
to various provincial palaces as it was feared Versailles would be targeted. The works did not make it back to Versailles before
the conflict’s end, some of them not returning until quite some time after. Once again emphasising Versailles’ image as a seat of power in 1963, General De Gaulle had the Grand Trianon restored with the idea of turning it into a presidential residence. After major upgrading works the Grand Trianon began to welcome foreign
heads of state on their official visits to France confirming once again, the political nature of Versailles. Today, the Palace of Versailles is
the third most visited tourist attraction in France. Millions of visitors come from all over the world to discover its unique history
and admire the beauty of its architecture. .
