Notre Dame Cathedral to open its doors on December 16
02-04-24
The iconic Notre Dame Cathedral, located in the heart of Paris, has marked a significant date on its calendar, announcing its reopening in December after a meticulous restoration process. This milestone comes after it was severely affected by a devastating fire in April 2019, an event that shocked the world and launched a global recovery campaign.
During the Rendez-vous at France Travel Market, the country's most important international trade fair, Olivier Josse, secretary general of the cathedral, shared crucial details about the reopening with the press. The cathedral, a national treasure of France and a pillar of European cultural heritage, will open its doors to individual visitors every day from 7:45 a.m. to 7:45 p.m. starting Dec. 16. In a welcoming gesture, admission will be free for all, in line with French tradition and laws.
