On Saturday, Notre-Dames de Paris — the iconic Paris landmark — will open its doors with an official ceremony after five years of restoration work. In 2019, the cathedral’s bells fell silent after a devastating fire. The World’s Carolyn Beeler spoke to Mathieu Lours to hear about what it took to rebuild Notre-Dame. Lours is an architectural historian and the author of the official history of the renovation. The book is called “Rebuilding Notre-Dame de Paris.”
