French culture minister in bid to charge tourists to visit Paris’ Notre-Dame cathedral • FRANCE 24
French ministers have raised the idea of charging tourists to enter Paris’ world-famous Notre-Dame cathedral when it opens in December after a five-year restoration, a proposal that drew a rebuke from the city’s diocese on Thursday. Culture Minister Rachida Dati said she had suggested implementing a “symbolic charge” during a conversation with Paris’ Catholic archbishop, with proceeds dedicated to conserving the country’s religious heritage.

The city should definitively CHARGE !!!! 5 Euros is NOTHING !!! If you have the money to visit Paris then you definitively should have 5 Euros to PAY an entrance fee !! And it goes for the maintenance.
No such thing as free lunch mon dieu
oh, let's make money off culture, but only from the poor- and quacks! paying for your sin, again and again?
democracy? hahahaha. "religious"oligarchy forever!
no, just no. tourist trap, anyone?
If it goes for the cathedral maintenance I have no problem at all paying to enter
The TOUR was never an Essential / VITAL Necessity in LIFE !
I seem to remember that York Minster charged an entry fee a few years ago.
Why ?
Because they are poor 😂😂😂
Well it isn’t that great anyway.
Pay to Pray the Pope needs the money
