Shafaqna English- After more than five years of intensive restoration work, Notre-Dame Cathedral in Paris has offered the world a peek of its restored interior.
French President Macron inspected the renovation work on Friday (29 Nov 2024), and live images of the landmark’s stained-glass windows, creamy stonework, timber-framed roof and soaring ceilings were broadcast live on television a week before its official reopening on December 7.
After the 2019 fire, which reduced much of the 12th-century Gothic masterpiece to charred debris and toppled the spire, Macron set the ambitious goal to rebuild it within five years and make it “even more beautiful” than before.
