A small Paris building used by double Nobel winner Marie Curie will be moved rather than torn down, French Culture Minister Rachida Dati said on Wednesday, hoping to put an end to a months-long row.

The Pavillon des Sources "will not be destroyed" but "moved a few metres ... brick by brick", Dati told broadcaster France Inter.
