Usually discreet, Stéphane Bern climbed the towers at the weekend. The reason ? Churches abandoned in small towns. Small towns that would not have the means to renovate them according to him. In fact, the star host of France 2 asked the government to react in an interview with the Sunday newspaper this week-end.
“France has 45,000 religious buildings, 75% of which are in municipalities with less than 3,000 inhabitants”, recalls at first the companion of Yori. However, according to him, “the small municipalities no longer have the means to maintain them”. Indeed, according to Stéphane Bern, restoring a church would cost “1.5 million euros”. “A small municipality cannot cope with it” he regretted. In fact, with the Heritage Foundation, the host of “Secrets of History” made a decision. Or rather, embarked on a project.

Stéphane Bern angry, he asks the government to react
“We plead for the creation of a fund to safeguard religious heritage. We are working on it, with a consortium of patrons. Almost in spite of myself, I have become the receptacle of this anger of people who ask me to help churches that no one takes care of it. I receive about twenty calls in this direction per week”he revealed.
The one who fell in love with TikTok also announces that he wants to launch a “heritage policy”. The goal? Allow, “to stop doing anything in terms of restoration: in a listed town, we sometimes have an architect from the buildings of France who will authorize PVC windows”. Hoping that Stéphane Bern’s wishes are heard and above all, are achievable.
