Notre Dame Cathedral Is Back!

Five years after the flames roared and the world held its breath, Notre Dame cathedral is coming back to life.

“It’s a wonder. Even for us who are very often in the cathedral, it doesn’t get old, it gets more beautiful every day,” Philippe Jost, the head of the effort to rebuild Notre Dame, said in November.

“There’s a Sistine Chapel effect,” he said of returning to the beloved landmark, with something to see and discover wherever you look.

With the cathedral set to open to the public on December 8, even today, the cause of the catastrophic fire that blazed through the monument on April 15, 2019, remains a mystery, though investigators believe it was accidental.
