Congratulations to the people of France who have committed to this great landmark and honored past craftsman by using the original methods. I love seeing these restoration videos.

I am french, I used to pass Notre-Dame everyday to go to work. I was living in USA when it burn and I cryed a lot that day.
I will have the chance to be in France in december and I am very excited to go inside again, like brand new. And the food, of course.

She's healing really fast! And she's still a beauty to this very day!
Can't wait for Notre Dame to finally reopen by the end of the year! I'm so happy for the people of Paris, France! Sending lots of thoughts and prayers! 🙏❤️

I got to visit and attend Mass before the fire.
I get emotional seeing her put back together. A symbol of enduring faith and France restored. ❤

[martijnkeisers]

Its beautiful to see the world come together to restore this symbol of Paris!
May God bless the people of Paris, France and the world.

I am proud to say that I was one of those donations from the US.

Seeing the people doing all of this hard hand work, gives me hope for the human race, and makes me happy to see a beautiful landmark be rebuilt to its rightful glory

December 8 is the feast of the Immaculate Conception. The cathedral is dedicated to Mary. The media never mention the significance of this date.

From tragedy to triumph! Thank you to the many donors & many craftspeople who have saved this treasure for humanity

[danielaastete]

It's a such feeling of joy and happiness to see this beauty standing again, it is also a huge feeling of hope! ❤❤❤

[barryjacobs]

Rebuilt stronger than before. Beautiful isn’t it. Perhaps it was meant to burn so that new life and workmanship will make it last another thousand years. It’s a miracle. ❤

I saw the church in 1985. I have placed at the top of my bucket list to see and experience the church again before I die.

GODBLESS to those hands and minds behind the restoration. 🙏😇

And it took them roughly 5 years to get this wonderful piece of history that is part of Paris and been parts of movies and tv shows that we known it from.

What a contrast to the opening ceremony. 1000 years after these Olympics end, this house of God will still stand.

[garethwilkinson]

Oh man. I see the love of this global place when everyone speaks of it. I love it also.

[Arkelk]

For a quick report, this was well done. Brava! to the reporter. Thank you for showing some of the paintings and details that have been obscured from age until now.

[christopherrascon]

I can't wait for the grand opening! :D

[asierra]

Awesome to see this beautiful Roman Catholic Cathedral come back to life! It'll be wonderful to have mass celebrated here again.

[AnnaBrown-he]

Wow! The fire was so sad! But it's wonderful that it was restored!! ❤❤❤
