French President Emmanuel Macron reopened the iconic towers of Notre Dame in Paris to public visits on Friday, one of the final steps in the massive reconstruction following the devastating fire.
"The towers of Notre-Dame reopen to the public. The cathedral is regaining all its splendor and once again offers spectacular views of Paris," Macron wrote on the X platform.
We recall that Notre Dame Cathedral officially reopened late last year, when world leaders gathered on December 7, 2024 for the consecration ceremony of the iconic cathedral, five years after the flames that destroyed it.
The opening ceremony was attended by 1,500 official guests, including US President Donald Trump, Elon Musk, Prince William, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky and Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni.
The cathedral, one of the most important examples of Gothic architecture in the heart of the French capital, dates back to around 1260 AD and has stood for more than 850 years, welcoming more visitors than the Eiffel Tower or the Louvre Museum.
Before the fire, Notre Dame de Paris welcomed over 13 million tourists a year from around the world.
The reconstruction of the cathedral required 1,200 oak trees, cut from forests across France to replace the wooden frame of the roof, as well as the participation of 1,000 construction workers.
