The Notre Dame cathedral in Paris will reopen in less than five years after a blaze ripped through the medieval building and destroyed its spire, French Culture Minister Franck Riester said on Thursday.
"No, I don't think so," Riester told the BFMTV broadcaster, when asked whether the cathedral would remain closed within five years, Sputnik News reports.
Riester did not say exactly when Notre Dame could reopen for visitors.
