The reopening of Notre-Dame de Paris in December was a great event. However, one element continues to upset Stéphane Bern. Emmanuel Macron’s decision to replace the stained glass windows angers him. He returned to the controversy this Wednesday January 15, 2025 on the set of C to you.
The terrible fire of Notre-Dame left its mark on everyone’s minds in 2019. Emmanuel Macron then made a promise that seemed unreasonable: to rebuild everything in five years. The construction site was complicated and rich in challenges, but the bet was well met. The reopening ceremony of Notre-Dame was followed by millions of people, believers or not. Lucky people were able to be present on site to this historic momenteven if the public was not able to enter during this first weekend. Several celebrities were also invited to experience this reopening.
Among them, the singer Vianney, who gave a performance that was widely commented on on social networks. A personality from the small screen, and a great lover of History, could not miss this meeting for nothing in the world. Stéphane Bern, upset by the accident in 2019, produced 18 hours of live broadcast to cover the event. Even today, a detail of this revocation leaves him with a bitter taste. Indeed, the stained glass windows, classified as historic monuments, have however been replaced for the benefit of six contemporary stained glass windows.
Stéphane Bern very upset, he sends a message to Emmanuel Macron
A decision taken according to the wishes of the President of the Republic Emmanuel Macron. Enough to make Stéphane Bern jump. “It is not the quarrel between the ancients and the moderns, it’s respecting the law“he assured in C to you. He explains: “If I do the same thing at home, if I remove something that I don’t like, which is classified as a historic monument, to put in something that I like more, immediately I have a fine“. The head of state therefore goes “outlaw“ by his decision. “The regional director of cultural affairs told me ‘We will investigate the file’, but as soon as we give notice to remove the stained glass windows which are classified as historic monuments, there will be complaints”warns Stéphane Bern.
“When you have succeeded in this five-year bet, let it happen […] We praise you, don’t go creating a new controversy“annoys those who are happily married. Stéphane Bern assures that he has a lot of support, particularly against Rachida Dati and Emmanuel Macron. “I haven’t told him, but all his cabinet directors write to me saying ‘You are right, we can’t say it, we are senior civil servants, but you are right‘. Well there you go, I will produce the letters, if this continues!”he jokes. “I will go all the way”affirms the presenter, ready to defend heritage and campaign for the return of the old stained glass windows.
