Trump heads to Paris: Notre-Dame Cathedral reopening draws unexpected visitor
President-elect Trump plans his first overseas trip since winning November election to attend Notre-Dame Cathedral grand reopening in Paris. The restored 12th-century Gothic landmark welcomes visitors after five-year break
Donald Trump announced his plan to visit Paris next weekend marking his first out-of-country journey since winning election last month. The trip centers around Notre-Dame Cathedrals re-opening ceremony (a well-known gothic landmark that got damaged by fire bout five years ago)
The famous 12th-century building got its former beauty back — with fresh white-stone walls shiny gold details and fully-restored architectural elements: sky-high spire flying-buttresses and hand-carved gargoyles. The building now looks better than before showing off its stained-glass windows that catch sunlight in new ways
President Emmanuel Macron has done a wonderful job ensuring that Notre Dame has been restored to its full level of glory and even more so. It will be a very special day for all!
French officials sent an invite to the president-elect for Dec 8th ceremony; his team works with Macronʼs office to set up details. The visit happens during tough times in French politics: the government faces no-confidence votes that might lead to its fall this week
Since his November win Trump stayed mostly in-country making just two notable trips:
* Watched sports event in New York
* Joined Elon Musk in Texas for Starship rocket launch
