Notre-Dame to Reopen with Macron's Address Inside Cathedral

Emmanuel Macron will speak at the reopening ceremony on December 7, marking the first public access since the 2019 fire.

Notre-Dame Cathedral in Paris is set to reopen on December 7, 2024, nearly five years after a devastating fire.
President Emmanuel Macron will deliver a speech inside the cathedral, celebrating the fulfillment of the reconstruction timeline.
The reopening ceremony will include an 'awakening of the organ,' which has been restored after damage from the fire.
The initial reopening weekend will feature a representation of parish communities, though attendance will be limited due to space constraints.
A six-month period of reopening events will follow, including daily masses and pilgrimages, culminating on Pentecost in June 2025.
