French Culture Minister Rachida Dati has proposed a 5-euro entry fee for Notre Dame Cathedral, set to reopen in December 2025. This fee aims to raise funds for the preservation of churches across France but has sparked debate over access to religious sites. While some support the idea for maintenance, others argue it contradicts the principle of free public access to churches.
