Notre-Dame Announces 11 Million Visitors Since Reopening

Church leaders set 11 million as a manageable ceiling to preserve a prayerful atmosphere.

Overview

  • The figure, cited by archpriest Olivier Ribadeau-Dumas on November 26, covers visits since December 7, 2024.
  • Some reports present the 11 million as a projection by year-end rather than a total already reached.
  • The cathedral receives about 30,000 visitors daily, with loudspeaker prompts used to maintain calm and steady circulation.
  • Since reopening, it has hosted 1,600 celebrations and 650 new pilgrimages, signaling a fully revived liturgical life.
  • Admission is free with optional online time slots, and the site now outdraws the Louvre and Versailles in annual visitors.
