Last week, a man managed to slip by security and climb to the top of Paris’s newly renovated Notre-Dame Cathedral. Once on the medieval monument’s uppermost scaffolding around the spire, he jumped off with the help of a paraglider, as Le Canard Enchainé first reported. The publication reported that the incident was possible due to a major reduction in security personnel, as part of a cost-cutting measure. The climber was intercepted by authorities upon his rough landing in the square in front of the cathedral, and the incident has embarrassed the cathedral’s caretakers, who had put in place a new security system and thermal cameras as part of the recent renovation. https://lnkd.in/gHnX-xWQ
