Overview
- Rebâtir Notre-Dame de Paris says at least €140 million in new donations are needed, with nearly the same amount still available from funds already collected.
- The public body has launched a fresh appeal after raising contributions from about 340,000 donors across roughly 150 countries, with fund management praised by the Cour des comptes.
- Exterior programs that began in 2025 are planned to run past 2030, targeting the sacristy, the three rose windows, the north and south transept façades, the presbytery, the nave and the rear of the towers, alongside the chevet.
- Since reopening in December 2024, the cathedral has drawn more than 11 million visitors, entry remains free, a proposed €5 fee was rejected by the diocese, and visitor flows are being regulated during services.
- Reporting indicates total spending on reconstruction and long-term restoration could ultimately exceed €1 billion once the remaining phases are completed.
