Dati's proposal to charge €5 for Notre-Dame entry aims to raise €75m annually, but it faces legal challenges under the 1905 law on state-church separation.
The Catholic Church of France maintains that entry should remain free, arguing that charging would disrupt the unity essential for both services and visits.
Dati clarified that religious ceremonies should remain free, asserting that cultural visitors should contribute to heritage preservation despite the controversy.
Art dealer Eric Turquin commented on the lengthy wait times for entry to Notre-Dame, expressing concerns about the impact of potential entry fees on visitors.
