Brits could be whacked with extra charges to visit top French tourist attractions such as the Louvre under plans unveiled by the country’s culture minister.
The surcharges for non-EU nationals of around €5 (£4.17) would apply to some national sites, with a proposed charge to visit the Notre Dame Cathedral for the first time.
Rachida Dati, the culture minister, said the money was needed for France to fund the upkeep of its crumbling national heritage sites.
“My position is very clear,” she told Le Figaro.
“I want visitors from outside the EU to pay more for their entrance ticket and for this supplement to finance the renovation of the national heritage.”
The proposed levy could come in 2026 at the Louvre, where tickets cost €22.
