Anyone who wants to visit the Notre Dame Cathedral in Paris, which was ravaged by fire in 2019, may in the future have to pay an entrance fee, according to a proposal from French Culture Minister Rachida Dati.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Dati believes that a ticket price of five euros could generate 75 million euros per year in maintenance costs for religious properties in the country.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cNearly 4,000 protected religious buildings are in poor condition or even worse,\u201d the minister said at a conference of France's bishops on Monday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
However, the church is giving the proposal a cold shoulder.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Churches and cathedrals have \u201dalways been open to all,\u201d Archbishop Eric de Moulins-Beaufort told the meeting, adding that a fee of this kind would be a \u201dbetrayal of this vocation.\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Notre Dame, which has been closed since the fire, is scheduled to reopen on December 7 after a five-year reconstruction that cost nearly 700 million euros.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
