The Notre Dame Cathedral, one of the most iconic landmarks in the world, is set to reopen its doors to visitors on December 8, 2024, after five years of restoration, according to media reports.

"Notre Dame Cathedral is not just a building, it is the soul of our city," said French President Emmanuel Macron. "Its reopening on December 8, 2024 will be a symbol of Paris' resilience, unity, and revival."

Restoration work on the cathedral was hampered not only by the fire but also by the COVID-19 pandemic. However, despite these challenges, the restorers have made significant progress.

The opening ceremony on December 8, 2024 is expected to be a solemn and crowded affair. It will be attended by representatives of the French government, religious leaders, and cultural and artistic figures.
