The French Tourism Development Agency announced that the Notre-Dame Cathedral in Paris (6 Parvis Notre-Dame – Pl. Jean-Paul II, 75004 Paris) will reopen to the public on December 8 (local time).
The cathedral is a Gothic building constructed over a period of two centuries, from 1163 to the mid-14th century. Although it was damaged during the French Revolution, architect Eugène Viollet-le-Duc made major restorations, including the addition of a new spire in the 19th century, and it has been registered as a World Heritage site since 1991.
A fire broke out on April 15, 2019 during the 850th anniversary restoration work, damaging the roof and roof assembly of the steeple, nave, and sleeve nave.
The restoration has now been completed and the museum will reopen to the public on August 8. After the reopening, the museum will be able to accommodate 2,500 people at a time, with a maximum capacity of 40,000 people per day.
A ceremony will be held in the presence of the president on December 7, and the first mass and consecration of the altar will be held in the presence of the president on December 8.
