Notre Dame Cathedral reopens in Paris after five-year restoration

Notre Dame Cathedral in Paris has reopened after a five-year restoration following a devastating fire in 2019. The reopening event features around 1,500 guests, including world leaders and dignitaries, celebrating the cathedral's significance. Originally planned as an outdoor ceremony, the event was moved indoors due to strong winds. French President Emmanuel Macron and Archbishop Laurent Ulrich will lead the ceremonies, which include a speech, music, and a religious service. The restoration received nearly $1 billion in donations globally, highlighting Notre Dame's cultural importance. This reopening follows other recent events in Paris affected by bad weather, including the Summer Olympics opening ceremony.
