YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

When Notre-Dame de Paris cathedral reopens to the public on Sunday, the world’s most-visited church will have been restored to almost exactly its form before a devastating 2019 fire. But it won’t look quite the same.

“There’s now a feeling that it’s just been built,” said Henri Chalet, director of Notre-Dame’s four choirs, who visited the church for a rehearsal as part of preparations for a series of grand events this weekend. Stone that had been darkened by years of pollution and visitor grime now has a pristine sparkle, woodwork gleams and paintings have been scrubbed and rediscovered.

“There are colors all around that one couldn’t have ever imagined,” said Chalet. “It’s magical to think that our home will be re-opened and be even more beautiful than before.”
