For the first time since an inferno gutted Paris’ Notre-Dame cathedral, the public has been given a glimpse inside.
President Emmanuel Macron visited the Gothic landmark in the heart of the French capital to witness its remarkable rise from the ashes after the devastating fire of April 2019.
By the time the flames were extinguished, the wooden spire had collapsed, most of the roof had been destroyed, and the cathedral’s upper walls were severely damaged.
Around the world, people watched with horror as the 1163 building burned.
Five years later, Notre-Dame now stands with a transformed appearance.
Among those who joined Macron during the visit are Paris mayor Anne Hidalgo, Philippe Jost, head of the Rebuild Notre Dame project and Bas Smets, the architect and landscaper who designed the courtyard.
