On December 8, Notre Dame Cathedral will reopen to the public after almost six years of restoration following the tragic fire that occurred during works inside the cathedral.
The date coincides with the commemoration of the Immaculate Conception. The rehabilitation process involved an investment of millions of dollars, and the cathedral is expected to show off its restoration to the world. However, the reopening will not coincide with the Paris Olympic Games, held from July 26 to August 11.
Notre Dame is part of the UNESCO heritage and is the most visited monument in France. Restoration projects began almost immediately, and contemporary artists restored the stained glass windows on the cathedral's south side. The tremendous golden cockerel, with the relics of St. Denis and St. Geneviève, survived the fire and will have a museum inside the cathedral. Recently, in February, the scaffolding was removed from the rebuilt spire, which is a reproduction of the original design by Eugène Viollet-Le Duc. Innovative techniques were used in the cathedral's rehabilitation and restoration while following the original structure's guidelines.
