| Direct Translation via Google Translate. Edited. [Regnum] Notre Dame Cathedral - Notre Dame de Paris - will open to visitors on December 8th. French President Emmanuel Macron announced this during an event dedicated to the 75th anniversary of the German Constitution in Berlin, which was broadcast on the official account of the Elysee Palace in H. The French leader invited the Germans to the Summer Olympics, which open in Paris on July 26, and also suggested visiting Notre Dame later. “It will be restored and will open on December 8,” Macron recalled. On May 25, a metal cross 12 m high was installed on the roof of the cathedral, which was damaged in a fire in April 2019. The structure was restored by craftsmen in Normandy, the newspaper Le Parisien reported. The next stage after the installation of the cross is the restoration of the ridges and the removal of scaffolding from the choirs located under the roof. It is expected that this work will be completed before the start of the Olympics. As Regnum reported, the fire that broke out in the area of the cathedral spire on April 15, 2019 lasted more than 15 hours. As a result, the spire, clock, and original roof of the 12th century collapsed. Restoration work was estimated at approximately 1 billion euros. In 2022, Netflix released a series about the cathedral, telling the story of what happened through a series of characters who were caught up in the turmoil of the flames. The building, which began to be built in 1163, is one of the symbols of Paris. In December 2023, the metal rooster was returned to the spire of Notre Dame Cathedral, inside of which Christian shrines are kept.
