Notre-Dame Cathedral’s towers reopen six years after huge fire

The iconic medieval towers of the Notre-Dame Cathedral in Paris were reopened and forced to close six years after the historical turning point of a large fire was broken down.

The middle part of the cathedral was reopened in December 2024, but it took longer for Notre-Dame’s twin towers to be accessible once again for visitors.

For the last few years, a major restoration project has been realized to bring back the cathedral to its former glory after some damage during the fire of 2019.

French President Emmanuel Macron reopened the newly restored towers on Friday.
