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 April 2019. The reopening ceremony featured French President Emmanuel Macron and over 2,500 guests, including US president-elect Donald Trump and Prince William. The cathedral has been restored to its former glory, with a new spire and enhanced architectural features. Nearly $1 billion in donations supported the restoration efforts, which involved more than 2,000 workers and artisans. During the ceremony, Macron praised the bravery of firefighters and restoration workers. The event included a psalm sung inside the cathedral and a projection of "Merci" on its exterior.
