The iconic Notre-Dame Cathedral opens its doors after a devastating fire damaged it about 5 years ago. **Prince William** and other world leaders will join the re-opening ceremony in Paris this weekend

Starting this week tourists and church-goers can once again step inside this gothic masterpiece: its newly-restored interior features eye-catching stained glass windows hand-crafted stone details and rebuilt wooden framework. The building shows off its fresh look after a long fix-up job that took about five-and-half years to finish
- Stone vaults reconstruction
- New oak-wood spire installation
- Stained glass windows cleaning
- Bell towers structural repairs
The buildings return brings joy to both Parisians and global visitors whoʼve waited patiently since that unfortunate spring evening to see this architectural treasure shine again
