Live: View of Notre-Dame Cathedral following 5-year restoration after fire

We are showcasing a view of Notre-Dame Cathedral during the weekend of its reopening ceremonies following a lengthy restoration after the fire in 2019. The first mass is being celebrated at the cathedral as it officially reopens after five years of renovation. This 860-year-old medieval cathedral, a symbol of both France and Paris, has been carefully restored. Its new spire and rib vaulting, along with the flying buttresses, have been returned to their former glory, while the white stone and gold accents shine more brightly than ever. On the evening of April 15, 2019, Parisians and viewers around the world watched in horror as the cathedral's spire and roof collapsed in a fierce fire that threatened the main bell towers and the entire structure, which narrowly escaped total destruction.
