Analysis: France separates church and state. So who’s responsible for Notre Dame?
A crane works between the bell towers of Paris's Notre Dame cathedral on April 18, 2019, days after a massive fire devastated large sections of the edifice. By Emily Tamkin Emily Tamkin Reporter covering foreign affairs Email Bio Follow April 18 at 1:55 PM French President Emmanuel Macron wants Paris’s Notre Dame cathedral, devastated in a fire on Monday, repaired in five years.
“The 1905 law does not prevent state authorities or public authorities from maintaining — it’s actually quite the opposite,” Lopinot said. “The 1905 law preserves the principle that those buildings are not private buildings but that they are state-owned buildings. That comes directly from the revolution.”
“Apart from that, it’s a huge building that requires incredible expertise to maintain because it is so old [and] because the competencies you would need for a person to work on these kinds of buildings are very rare,” Lopinot said.
