Notre-Dame de Paris is also disconcerted. The cathedral square, closed to the public since the cathedral fire more than a year ago, reopens this Sunday, announced the diocese, the town hall of Paris and the establishment responsible for the renovation.
Due to the fire on April 15, 2019, the forecourt and rue du Parvis "suffered lead pollution which led to an immediate closure of the site," the three institutions said in a statement.
Regular cleaning
After a "favorable opinion" from the Ile-de-France Regional Health Agency on Friday, the Paris police prefect authorized the reopening of the two places, they added, specifying that samples and regular cleaning will be performed.
At 3 p.m., Archbishop Michel Aupetit, Archbishop of Paris, Paris Mayor Anne Hidalgo and General Jean-Louis Georgelin, who chairs the Etablissement public de Notre-Dame, will be on hand to mark this reopening, they said. AFP.
The work to secure the burnt Notre-Dame, suspended in mid-March due to coronavirus, must resume very gradually, with the ambition of reviving the cathedral by 2024.
