The Notre Dame Cathedral has officially reopened, five years after a devastating fire destroyed its roof and spire, showcasing a meticulous €700 million restoration.
The reopening ceremony featured a two-hour sermon attended by global leaders, highlighting the successful restoration of the 19th-century spire and cleaned Gothic interiors.
Conservationists employed a new latex paste cleaning technology, revealing bright interiors that some critique as uncharacteristic for an iconic Gothic structure like Notre Dame.
The project brought together over 2,000 workers from 250 companies, focusing on both structural repair and the artistic restoration of Notre Dame's historical elements.
