In France, some municipal decrees (« arrêté » in French) are rather unusual, such as those forbidding the character encountered on 3 December from disrupting Santa’s work. In December 2024, such decrees can be found on the WordPress sites of two communes.

Question

What are the surnames of these two mayors?

WordPress public files are always saved under the url https://<url>/wp-content/uploads/<year>/<month>/<file>.

As we search something related to Santa (“Père Noël” in French), we can search using Google Dorks all results that match this description:

inurl:"wp-content/uploads/2024/12" Arrêté "Père Noël"

The two first results are what we are looking for, from Andrezieux-Boutheon and Villers-Semeuse.

Opening them and looking at the signature will give the name of the mayors.
