According to him, this decision was made due to the fact that one of the parts of the cathedral was "extremely weakened" after the fire. At the same time, Chauvet did not specify which particular segment of the object is being discussed.
In addition, the abbot added that he currently does not know where the 67 employees of Notre Dame will work in the future.
Earlier, the deputy head of the fire service in Paris, Philippe Deme, told how the emergency services of the city managed to save the two towers of the cathedral.
In turn, Mark Gurari, a deputy chairman of the Council of the Union of Moscow Architects for the urban development of the capital, and a member of the Academy of Architectural Heritage, commented on the situation around the restoration of the Notre Dame Cathedral after a massive fire.
