Notre-Dame Cathedral in Paris reopens today after a five-and-a-half-year restoration following a devastating fire. The restoration, costing about $740 million, has returned the cathedral to its former glory, including a new spire and enhanced decorations. Due to strong winds, the opening ceremony will be held inside the cathedral instead of outside as originally planned. The area around Île de la Cité is closed to tourists, with heightened security measures in place. President Trump, along with French President Macron and Ukrainian President Zelenskyy, attended the reopening. The celebration includes a documentary, classical music, and a religious ceremony, with the first Mass scheduled for Sunday.
