Notre-Dame

Notre-Dame
Today we made it onto one of the islands in the Seine River, Île de la Cité. Home of the famous Notre-Dame.
The cathedral suffered a large fire back in 2019, where most of the roof was destroyed along with the large spire.
So the whole area was blocked off for renovations. You might think this was a bummer, but it turned out to be quite fascinating. There were placards all along one side talking about the restoration process. The work done to immediately stabilize the roof area, the planning of the restoration using the same materials as the original, the mobilization of craftsmen from all over. Like I said fascinating. The job at hand is literally monumental. There are over 1,000 people working on the project. You can read about it in the link below.
