Notre Dame Re-Build [View all]

We visited Paris in July of 2023 with our nephew and we took these of the re-building/renovation work being done to Notre Dame.

They built an entire temporary building on the Seine river side to house construction offices and restoration work so a lot of items wouldn't need to be taken off-site. Barges in the river were holding wooden trusses waiting to be hoisted into place.

I thought I would share these as I don't imagine very many folks have seen it while it is being re-built.

The goal is to have it open for the Summer Olympics. I hope they make it!

Cheers,
RDR
