Access to Cathedral

[edit]

The article should mention that, unlike the past,, all visitors must now have an on-line reservation to enter the cathedral. . This is a very big change and very few people know about it. , ~~~ SiefkinDR (talk) 12:01, 8 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I don't think you need an on-line reservation - as far as I can see, visitors can turn up and queue to be admitted as before, but you are advised to book in advance to avoid the queue. To quote the official web site [1] "Notre-Dame Cathedral is open to all, freely and without charge. To reduce your waiting time at the entrance, you can, however, book a free access online a few hours or days before your visit." Herbgold (talk) 14:26, 8 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Very good point - Thanks for the correction. SiefkinDR (talk) 15:53, 8 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Splitting?

[edit]

Is it worth splitting this article into a post fire article and pre-fire article as they would be technically two different churches as it was rebuilt?

Just curious. Reader of Information (talk) 16:35, 8 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Johnbod
You got a valid point. I change my mind on splitting it.
@SiefkindDR
That would probably be the best way to do so.

I don’t think so, since the basic elements are the same. there can be a section on what’s new and different. SiefkinDR (talk) 17:05, 8 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

No, they are not "technically two different churches" at all, as most of the fabric is the same (just cleaner). As with many other churches, the 19th-century makeover was probably more drastic, & I don't know of any example where we have two articles as a result.
