Pope's Funeral

Hi



Is it likely that any of the Paris monuments or sites will be closed on Saturday out of respect for the Pope%26#39;s funeral?



I of course understand if this is the case and will plan accordingly.

Officially this is a laique country, so I should think not, although I imagine that the masses at various churches will be SRO.




|||



AsPhread said it is a laic country, so nothing will be closed for this reason, but I%26#39;m sure that Notre Dame will be out of reach for most people




|||



Out of curiosity and please excuse my ignorance but what is Laique/Laic?




|||



to the best of my knowledge laique means seperate from the church




|||



Since December 1905 a law stipulates that the French Republic will not recognize or subsidize any cult.



So France is a secular country, recently the debate about exterior religious signs have raised lot of discussion in the medias but the separation of Church and State is clear.
