2023 is over. At the end of this exceptional year for the reconstruction of Notre Dame de Paris, and with less than a year to go before its reopening, let’s review the past 12 months of restoration in images.
A big well done to all those who continue to contribute with enthusiasm and talent to this project to bring the cathedral back to life!
Thank you also to the 340,000 donors, in France but also all around the world, who make the work possible.
