After more than five years of work, Notre-Dame de Paris Cathedral is preparing to reopen its doors on Saturday December 7. Immersion in images in the building, while President Macron makes a final visit to the site.
Notre-Dame de Paris will reveal, this Friday to the world, its rediscovered “brilliance” five years after the devastating fire of April 2019thanks to a final site visit by French President Emmanuel Macron who intends to boast of having met his “insane challenge” of reopening in five years.
A big week away this reopening with great fanfare and the return of the public, the weekend of December 7 and 8it is through a stroll by the Head of State, broadcast live in the morning on several French and international channels, that the reconstructed cathedral will be visible.

“Even more beautiful than before, in the rediscovered brilliance of the blondness of the stones and the color of the chapels,” wrote the president in a document distributed to the media. This “project of the century” constituted a “challenge that many considered insane and that we will meet this December 7,” he adds.
In a bad political position, Emmanuel Macron is betting a lot on this meeting on the occasion of a restoration that he elevated to the rank of “French pride”, with the successful Olympic Games last summer.
He has invited a large number of foreign leaders next weekend in the hope of making it a global event, but the list of those present is not yet known. On the other hand, we already know that Pope Francis preferred to go to Corsica a week later rather than to Paris.
The president for a time hoped to speak in the cathedral during the reopening, but after tough negotiations with the diocese, he will speak in the square only. It is therefore this Friday that he will speak in Notre-Dame, for a speech of thanks during which he should exalt the “French know-how“, a “collective success”, a “chapter of which we can be proud”.
