Come visit Notre-Dame de Paris Cathedral after its reopening
Notre-Dame de Paris Cathedral, a masterpiece of Gothic architecture, is an iconic symbol of the French capital. Located in the heart of the Île de la Cité, it attracts millions of visitors each year thanks to its majesty and fascinating history.
The History of Notre-Dame de Paris
Built between 1163 and 1345, Notre-Dame de Paris is one of the oldest and most impressive cathedrals in France. Its grandiose architecture, with its high vaults, magnificent stained glass windows and famous rose window, makes it a must-see site for art and history lovers. Over the centuries, it has witnessed many historical events, including the coronation of Napoleon Bonaparte in 1804 and the beatification of Joan of Arc.
The Fire of 2019
On April 15, 2019, the cathedral was hit by a devastating fire which gutted its roof and caused the spire to collapse. This tragedy shocked not only Parisians, but also the entire world. Fortunately, the towers and the main structure have been preserved, allowing reconstruction to be considered.
The Renovation of Notre-Dame
After the fire, a vast restoration operation was launched, involving craftsmen specializing in heritage conservation. Thanks to the efforts of hundreds of workers and massive financial support, the cathedral was gradually rebuilt to its former splendor. This renovation, which lasted several years, was marked by technical advances and research into the original materials.
The Reopening of Notre-Dame
Good news for history and culture enthusiasts: Notre-Dame de Paris reopened its doors to the public in December 2024, after several years of work. Although some interior spaces are still under renovation, visitors can once again visit Notre-Dame. The cathedral is also preparing for a program of cultural events, including concerts and religious celebrations.
