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.
