The inauguration of the restored towers by Macron, who has spearheaded reconstruction efforts since the April 15, 2019 fire, comes a day before the opening weekend when the public can finally climb the 424 stairs to enjoy unmatched views of Paris.
The reconstruction of Notre-Dame to its former glory marks a major success for Macron, who is politically embattled at home.
'Spectacular views'
“The towers of Notre-Dame reopen to the public,“ Macron said on X. “The cathedral is regaining all its splendour and once again offers its spectacular views of Paris,“ he said.
“This route already existed before the fire, but it has been greatly improved in many ways,“ said Philippe Jost, Macron’s pointman for the reconstruction, pointing to new viewpoints and spaces for visitors.
The tickets for the first two days over the weekend sold out in just 24 minutes.
While the opening of the towers marks the final major stage in the reconstruction process, there is still more work to be done. The apse at the eastern end of the cathedral is the next part to be renovated.
“Our ambition now is to complete a full restoration of the cathedral, addressing everything that will enable it to look its best,“ he added - AFP
