She added that public reconciliation to raise the funds needed for reconstruction made it possible to achieve enough to complete construction.
“With donations and promises of donations for a total of 833m euros, the collected sums allow us to quietly cope with its construction”, specified the Culture Minister, recently recovered from David-19, during a speech in the Senate in Paris.
“I can tell you that in 2024 the Notre-Dame de Paris cathedral will reopen,” she added.
Today, when it takes place exactly two years after the fire and Minister Bachelot, along with the president, Emmanuel Macron will visit the construction site of the Gothic cathedral, of one of the basic symbols of France and Europe.
At that time, the head of state had called for the building to be rebuilt in five years at the time of the Paris-2024 Olympic Games.
General Jean-Louis Georgelin, who oversees the work on behalf of Macron, has also guaranteed that Notre Dame will be able to reopen on April 16th, 2024, even if the work does not complete on that date.
