Notre Dame Cathedral reopens in Paris after five-year restoration following fire
Notre Dame Cathedral in Paris has reopened for the first time since a devastating fire in 2019. The event was attended by world leaders and around 1,500 guests, celebrating the restoration of the historic 12th-century landmark. The reopening ceremony included a symbolic door opening by Archbishop Laurent Ulrich and a speech by French President Emmanuel Macron. Originally planned for outdoors, the event was moved inside due to strong winds. The ceremony featured a film about the renovations, music, and a religious service. This change follows a trend of weather disruptions affecting major events in Paris, including the Summer Olympics earlier this year.
