In April 2019, one of the most famous cathedrals in the world was partially destroyed by fire. Notre-Dame de Paris sustained heavy damage in the disaster.

Donations poured in from around the world to rebuild the cathedral, including from some of France’s wealthiest citizens.

President Emmanuel Macron vowed that Notre-Dame would be rebuilt within five years using the nearly $900 million collected. But the deadline won’t quite be met, but the restorations is now in the homestretch.

Hundreds of artisans work towards a reopening on December 8, 2024. If all goes according to plan, the framework for the famed spire will be completed this year, allowing a return to the Paris skyline of one of the its oldest and most iconic features.

The project has been complicated by involvement of so many different actors, like the government, the national auditor to oversee the vast sums involved, the doners, the architects, and contractors and workers.

While Notre-Dame won’t be reopened in time for the Summer Olympics next year, those heading the project say they are finally confident the public and worshipers will be able to go inside by the end of next year.
