• Take a look at new images of the restored cathedral below.

Notre Dame Cathedral, one of Paris’ most iconic buildings, is set to reopen its doors on December 7, more than five years on from the devastating fire that ravaged its roof and toppled its spire.

Ahead of the reopening service, which will be presided over by the Archbishop of Paris, French President Emmanuel Macron took a televised walking tour of the cathedral, offering glimpses of the restoration. In a post on X, Macron shared a photo, writing alongside it: “Achieving the impossible together. That’s France.”

Business Insider has compiled some images of the restored building below.

A fire broke out at Notre Dame Cathedral on April 15, 2019.

The blaze destroyed much of the building’s roof and brought down its spire. Fortunately, the cathedral’s bell towers and main structure survived.

The subsequent restoration project is estimated to have cost more than $700 million.

France’s President Emmanuel Macron and his wife, Brigitte, visited ahead of the official reopening.

Macron gave a speech to people who worked on the rebuild.

A reopening service is set to be held on December 7.

A Mass is then planned for December 8.

Online bookings for free access to Notre Dame will be available around December 1, the cathedral’s website says.
