The city of Chartres, France, has unveiled plans to redesign the square in front of the world-famous Chartres cathedral. The project will cost €23.5 million.All French churches built before 1905 belong to the State which took them away from the Church.
Presently the square is covered with gravel, green spaces and trees. This will be replaced by a cold concrete plate which also functions as a ceiling for a partially underground construction which covers excavations and offers spaces for pilgrims and tourists.
Not everybody likes the project. LeSalonBeige.fr (January 22) wrote that the changes will "imprison" the cathedral.

Comments are subject to deletion if they are not germane. I have no problem with a bit of colourful language, but blasphemy or depraved profanity will not be allowed. Attacks on the Catholic Faith will not be tolerated. Comments will be deleted that are republican (Yanks! Note the lower case 'r'!), attacks on the legitimacy of Pope Francis as the Vicar of Christ (I know he's a material heretic and a Protector of Perverts, and I definitely want him gone yesterday! However, he is Pope, and I pray for him every day.), the legitimacy of the House of Windsor or of the claims of the Elder Line of the House of France, or attacks on the legitimacy of any of the currently ruling Houses of Europe.
