What are the immediate financial and operational implications of the new 30 euro tariff for non-European visitors at major French monuments?

Several French national monuments, including the Palace of Versailles, Chambord Castle, and the Garnier Opera, will introduce a "30 euro" special tariff for non-European visitors starting January 1, 2026. This follows a similar initiative at the Louvre Museum, driven by significant funding needs for renovations and maintenance. The measure aims to generate additional revenue to address substantial repair costs.
