Notre-Dame Reopens: Five Years After Devastating Fire
Following a devastating 2019 fire, Notre-Dame Cathedral in Paris has undergone a €700 million restoration. President Macron recently toured the rebuilt cathedral, showcasing its renewed interior, including a newly constructed roof replacing the medieval structure destroyed in the blaze. The extensive renovation also involved a thorough cleaning of the interior, revealing a “fresh face” after nearly two centuries of accumulated grime. The project, completed within five years, involved thousands of craftspeople and has revitalized French craftsmanship.
