I think much of the world watched in horror as flames took hold of Notre Dame in Paris on 15th April 2019. By the time the fire was put out the cathedral’s spire had collapsed and much of its roof and upper walls were damaged. Fortunately the vaulted stone ceiling prevented extensive internal damage.
Donations to help with the restoration poured in.
The restoration work on Notre Dame is well underway. There are cranes and scaffolding all around the church.
Up close there is a wall with photographs of the work going on within.
The cathedral is expected to reopen in December 2024.
