Notre Dame Cathedral reopens with world leaders in attendance after five-year restoration

Notre Dame Cathedral in Paris will officially reopen on Saturday after a five-year restoration following a devastating fire in 2019. The event will be attended by world leaders, including President Emmanuel Macron, and will symbolize unity amid global conflicts. The reopening ceremony will take place inside the cathedral due to forecasted strong winds. It will feature a blend of religious traditions, a presidential speech, and a concert with renowned artists, marking a significant cultural moment for France. The reopening comes as Macron faces political turmoil after the ousting of his prime minister. Despite this, the event aims to showcase France's resilience and the cathedral's importance as a symbol of shared heritage and hope.
