Notre Dame Cathedral in Paris to reopen Saturday evening

 

Crowds gather in front of Notre Dame Cathedral in Paris on the eve of its official reopening after more than five years of reconstruction work following the April 2019 fire, Dec. 6, 2024.

The iconic Notre Dame Cathedral in Paris is reopening Saturday evening, more than five years after a fire destroyed its roof and spire. An invitation-only ceremony will include heads of state and government, with French President Emmanuel Macron delivering a speech before Archbishop Laurent Ulrich formally reopens its doors.
