Summary

The newly restored 850-year-old Notre-Dame Cathedral will reopen on December 7, five years after the devastating 2019 fire.

The €700m renovation has revitalized the Gothic masterpiece, preserving its historical integrity while incorporating modern safety upgrades like sprinkler systems.

The project involved 2,000 skilled craftsmen, boosting traditional trades such as stone-carving and woodwork.

Key features, including stained-glass windows and artwork, were saved, while the spire and roof timbers were reconstructed.

    You are very bitter and I feel sorry for you. Your hatred of the french is precisely the kind of attitude that leads to all the things you are raging against here. I hope you get the help you need and find some more happiness.

      Discipline is a core tenant of righteous hatred. I feel no enmity for anyone of French descent. I just hate the French as a concept. Same for the British, the Dutch, Spaniards, Belgians, Germans, Russians, Israelis, Chineses, etc etc all the way down the list of opressors both historic and modern. While yes, a nice little Thanos snap of all those evil peoples would leave the world massively underpopulated, I have faith that the desirables that are left would figure out repopulation no problem.
