Notre Dame Cathedral in Paris has reopened for the first time since a devastating fire in 2019. The event features around 1,500 guests, including world leaders, to celebrate the restoration of the historic landmark. The reopening ceremony, originally planned for outdoors, has been moved inside due to strong winds. French President Emmanuel Macron will speak, followed by Archbishop Laurent Ulrich leading a religious service. The event marks the culmination of over five years of renovations, supported by nearly $1 billion in global donations. This reopening follows other recent events in Paris affected by bad weather.
