Images and videos reveal the restored interior of the Notre Dame Cathedral in Paris five years after a massive fire caused extensive damage, including a collapsed roof.
Images and video that emerged Friday show the first glimpse inside the restored Notre Dame Cathedral in Paris five years after a devastating fire.
French President Emmanuel Macron toured the iconic structure ahead of its reopening to the public on Dec. 8., describing the experience as “overwhelming”, Reuters reported.
Outside, the 12th-century monument is still a construction site, with scaffolding and cranes, but inside, the restoration – which included the removal of years of accumulated dirt – has revealed the cathedral’s bright colors once again.
“We are very eager to welcome the whole world under the roof of our cathedral”, Paris Archbishop Laurent Ulrich said on its website, according to Reuters.
