You "forgot" to mention that the structural components had been inventoried and also digitally scanned in the years before the fire, so they should be able to reconstruct it with great accuracy
Accuracy is not the problem here. The fact that a one-of-a-kind building is not to be renewed but restored is rather. Meaning that it should not be taken so lightly that the government lets random artist suggest ideas about how it should look like. It takes time and money, furthermore it ruines the quality of the restoration itself. There is a long neverending list of suggestions about designs of Notre Dame. All of which are ridiculous garbage and has nothing to do wtih the original architecture.
I was in Paris in 1976 and visited Notre Dame. The beautiful front stain glass window was impressive. It struck me that once inside, everything seemed so dark, so it was difficult to see much detail of the interior. I seem to remember hearing hymns being sung. When they showed the fire I shed tears for the loss and uncertain future of the iconic church that belonged to the world. So glad to see the restoration coming to its final stages. With all that has been done, Notre Dame should be enjoyed for generations to come.
I, too, remember the interior of the Cathedral being rather dark, which, for me was disappointing because the exterior of the building is so magnificent.
Sorry your impression of the interior was pretty much the same as mine. At least I now know I was remembering it correct;y. Would love to see it again in all its restored splendor.@@gingerninjawhinger9986
I was lucky to be able to visit the Cathedral in about 2015. They had a new and improved lighting system, the interior had been cleaned, and looked absolutely magnificent. The choirs and organs were awesome! The current predictions for re-opening are for later in 2024, a few months later then what was mentioned in the video. PS It was pretty dark inside there, before the new lights were installed.
I'm surprised that no one in the comments has mentions that, even with the fire, the cross remained untouched. I'm not a believer or anything, but damn, that's a powerfull sight...
As a donor to the rebuilding of Notre-Dame de Paris, I would like to bring updated information as to the reopening of the cathedral. It is now scheduled to reopen on December 8th, 2024, Catholic Feast of the Immaculate Conception. Extensive work including the roof, the spire and the scaffold work will delay the reopening until that time.
So glad to hear that the restoration efforts of Notre Dame are almost complete. The grand structures left by our ancestors, whether religious or secular, are our most precious inheritance. They provide us with not only a link to our past but show us the grit, hard work and determination of those who built them. We have inherited the courage, determination and ability to dream of our ancestors. These irreplaceable buildings are a physical testament to humanities continuous drive to achieve and excel.

It never ceases to amaze me how the great cathedrals like Notre Dame (and others throughout Europe) were so well constructed with the technology that was available at the time. Kudos to those great architects and laborers who, knowing they would not live to see the completion of their work, gave their best efforts to build such great and wonderful edifices!
Wow, the world is happy Notre Dame is back in all it’s glory. What a masterpiece of construction. Thank you all that had a hand in restoration. I was there in 1963 and was mesmerized by its beauty. 😊
As a visitor to Notre Dame, and Paris, and a good part of Europe in general in 1967, I was Nine Years old, and with my Grandmother, a REAL World Traveler, I can say that I was in tears when I saw the images of Our Lady on fire. But I also immediately knew they would rebuild it. Notre Dame is the symbol of Paris, and France. As for them getting it done by the Summer Olympics, YES of course. They all know how to work overtime to accomplish a task.
I have been to Paris in the 90' long before the fire. The Notre Dame was so BEAUTIFUL. The stained glass windows where so beautiful. Can not wait to see the church back to it's gory. Hope it gets done on time. I hope to see it again sometime.
As a history nerd, I am very glad they are restoring it to as close to its original state as possible. That - I think - honors French and Roman Catholic history in the right way.
I think it is tragic that the French are repeating the mistakes of the original builders by reconstructing the original wooden building and setting up yet another eventual fire. The original builders were limited by the technology of their time, but the modern restoration has no excuse for not building a fire-proof roof replacement. What an expensive, backward looking waste of time, money and effort.
@@4tunesfo 🤔 You do realize that a ridiculous amount of wooden structures exist all over the planet and DON'T catch fire... Also JOW long did this thing last before burning the first time? And you truly assume they are not going to be adding features to prevent the same thing from happening??? I think you are being overly negative, defeatist and obtuse sir. Stop that and do better.
You sound like a person who lacks any sense of History, Art or Culture. What would you prefer? A Skyscraper with Condominiums built over the Cathedral? ...or maybe a Restaurant with glass elevators soaring above the structure for Tourists to view Paris? @@4tunesfo
How many incarnations of the “French State” have there been since Notre Dame was constructed? Already on its 5th republic. Many forms of government will rise and fall - indeed France as a political entity may cease to exist - but the cathedral and the faith which created it will persist.
Yes the project will be completed and ahead of schedule. Dedicated People from all over have been hard at work for Years and know exactly what is being recreated here. I admire the way the recreation is being done. I have seen on other specials where recreation is being done the way it was created. By Hand. Their motivation. It will be their finest work and true example of Human Sprit. Viva Le France.
The image at 3.35 is of Notre Dame-des-Canadiens Church in Worcester, MA - NOT Notre Dame of Paris. It was completed in 1929 in Gothic style by a Springfield, MA architect.
Yes, this is what happens when you let AI create your news story. It went to grab information and found this article, incorporated it into the story and ended up adding something from 1969 and at no time EVER was the Notre-Dame in Paris going to be leveled for a Civic Center. And they say that AI is going to take over everything. YIKES!!!
Why have you included a news snippet about Notre Dame, Massachusetts from 1968 at 3:13 when talking about demolishing the cathedral in the early 1800's?
Not only that, he also highlights the fact that the church (not cathedral) is 40 years old and the paragraph says it’s in Salem Square and why would the “Worcester development authority” be involved in plans to demolish Paris’ most important cathedral? Embarrassing…
In 1968, I climbed the winding worn steps all the way up to the top view point... I will never forget it... It was a magical time and place. I was deeply saddened to see the burning structure. I wonder if I will ever travel to Paris again to see the restored Notre Dame?
I remember reading this online that day, i rushed down stairs to tell my dad and turned on the news. Props to the fire department for working day and night to get the fire under control!
I went to Paris in 2015 and to be perfectly honest I didn't enjoy the experience. The museums were amazing, and a few other things, but overall the city felt very unsafe, unclean and the dreary weather didn't help. On the last day I had a chance to go to Notre Dame, and it was totally a redeeming experience. The place is huge and the public space around it was set up very well. You could just enter and enjoy all the art, and they had a very nice choir performance. It was so sad to see this icon of Paris go, and I hope it's restored as soon as possible!
My daughter traveled to Europe in 2007, and visited Paris, The Netherlands, Wales, and Ireland (she was supposed to sightsee in London, but left due to the attempted terror attacks on the first day of her visit.) My daughter had the same opinion of Paris; dirty streets w/ piles of trash, snobby, overrated etc. She was impressed with Notre Dame, and, thankfully, she photographed various angles of the spire. Very horrible, shocking day.
You should chalk your experience up to being one in a million. I lived in Paris in 2009 and 2010 and it's the MOST amazing city in the world and it is very clean particularly compared to Rome which needs a good power washing from all the soot that accumulates on the buildings (i.e. The Colloseum.) My point is give Paris another chance especially in summer when you will find Paris is not only the city of light, but, the city of beautiful flowers. And, yes, the museums are amazing. Everyone I have ever known loves Paris, so, give it another try!
Hen i saw it burning on TV in the US 🇺🇸 I cried so much it was so sad to watch history be destroyed, we don't have many historical places left & to watch something so beautiful & precious 😢 almost fall my heat broke. I how they and restor it back for the future generation to be able to enjoy its glory. 😊
It broke everyone’s hearts to see that beautiful place being unintentionally burned. But I’m so happy for it reopening in time for the Paris Olympic Games next year!
I am very pleased that the renovation of Notre Dame is almost complete. This magnificent building I have visited several times and it holds a special place in my heart. Cherish this breathtaking structure, and hopefully, it will be a highlight during the 2024 Olympics.
Oh my goodness I remember watching the fire live and they were just playing the video of the spire collapsing over and over again and I was just like "yes it's very sad but you don't have to play it 20 times in a row!"
Amazing report! Am so glad that they collected the money to restore Notre Dame, such a magnificent architectural cathedral, with so much history throughout centuries.
0:19 THIS IS NOTRE DAME OF STRASBURG. Im glad that they, suposedly, will maintain the buildings original design. Imagine restoring the Pyramids lika a cube, the China Wall as a hologram, the Taj Mahal as a Glass building, the Colisee as a Soccer stadium, and so on. Thats disrespectfull.
We were in Paris in August and of course at Notre Dame. You can see the cranes and scaffolding, but it is not clear how far the structure is. From the outside, everything still looks pretty unfinished. We also asked a few people in Paris. Few believe that the cathedral will be finished in 2024, but many hope that it will at least be restored from the outside to such an extent that the original church will be recognizable. I hope that this wonderful structure will be restored as soon as possible, but do not believe that it will be in 2024.
The last information found on newspaper « The reconstruction of Notre-Dame de Paris cathedral would be on track to allow its reopening to the public at the end of 2024, less than six years after the fire which ravaged its roof, those responsible for the work assured Monday. The deadline for reopening to visitors and the faithful, set for December 2024, was set by President Emmanuel Macron just after the fire in April 2019. Unfortunately, it will not be quite ready for the Paris Olympics, which will take place in July and August 2024. “My job is to be ready to open this cathedral in 2024 - and we will,” says Army General Jean-Louis Georgelin, the army general in charge of the reconstruction project. “We fight for this every day and we are on the right track.” Culture Minister Rima Abdul Malak clarified that although the cathedral will be open to the public, this "does not mean that all renovation work will be completed." She added that there will be "further renovation work in 2025" »
If it is due to a cigarette, we'll never know. Very bad publicity for the powerful tobacco industry. Same with forest fires and so on. The devil is a master of disguise...
I have some very nice memories of my visit to Notre Dame many years ago and being thanked, in broken French, for photographing a young Spanish couple (who assumed the 'little man' wearing a hat must be French) with the Cathedral in the background. I broadly smiled, nodded and handed them back their camera and said nothing to embarrass them. In utter horror, almost amounting to panic, I watched the live coverage as Notre Dame burned. I would very much like to see It again when restoration is complete.
Thank God it's being restored! The most beautiful thing ever constructed by the hand of man. I'm skeptical of the standard narrative of how it caught fire but be that as it may.
I visited this most beautiful cathedral in 1986 as an American architectural interior designer student touring Europe and I was devastated to see this iconic building on fire, my heart sank. I understand that people want to enhance the world new things but when I heard in this video that they were having a contest to repair this World Heritage site on how to repair this site I wanted to choke. Thinking that I’m going to find a stupid pyramid in the middle of the cathedral and ruin the building. People today usually do not understand history and why things were the way they were, therefore the building will never be the same.
Thank God they are preserving this precious religious symbol for future generations. It is vital we preserve our Western culture and historical churches and cathedrals. 🙏👏
I don’t want them to rush the construction to open on Dec 8th, 2024. Rushing loses the beauty of bringing it back to its former glory. Safety, accuracy, and finding a way to ensure this doesn’t happen again should be the priority. ❤
I remember one of the early submissions for the redesign was a glass roof, which looked modern and that kind of thing worked for the Reichstag Building, but the designer completely forgot that the wooden roof covers over stone vaulting, and it's impossible to remove those vaulting without the walls caving inwards, a design by someone who had no clue how the actual building is constructed. I'm glad some of the expertise of the workers at Guédelon Castle, using their knowledge of vaulting and carpentry to assist in the conservation and rebuild.
Hats off to the French people for saving it they save Notre Dame! I’m trying to go to France this summer I’d like to speak French but my doesn’t allow it here because this is an English thing
I am ecstatic that the Cathedral will be restored to its original splendor, instead of the atrocious “modern” designs that had been submitted by various artists.
The "firefighters" received an alarm and couldn't find the fire; they left and came back 30 minutes later when the roof was completely in flames. They turned a minor fire into a 1/2 billion dollar debacle. Almost as shameful as asking the world to pay for their mistakes.
I was there last month and there is still so much work to be done. I’m thinking re-opening is closer to 2025. I hope that I am happily, wrong. However, the structural integrity cannot be rushed. We will definitely be back, once the Cathedral re-opens.
I was in Notre Dame in 1997 with my fiancée. It was dark and grimy inside due to centuries of candle smoke and dust pollution. Very pleased to see it being restored. Just a big pity me and my then fiancée became disengaged
I was there sinting till 4am, till it was safe... a very sad day to see a monument that survived almost everything, destroyed by stupid construction workers or electric default. I am glad we will restore it soon enough even if la Foret, the name of the framework that we had not finished to study, will be lost forever. There is french movie, Notre Dame brule, that shows the fireman's intervention for people who wants to know, and regular update are made about the restoration.😊
Let's not sugar coat it, This was definitely an Arson. And it was done by a specific group of people that European countries are in constant defense of.
You don't have to be religious to appreciate historic buildings like Notre Dame. As for the cause, who knows, but have you ever known a Frenchman without a cigarette?
I find it amazing that they can raise $1 billion in under 24 hours to help Notre Dame, but people can be starving living on the streets, and nothing can be done for them. Amazing where our priorities lie
Totally disagree. Even though poverty sucks wherever you live on this marvelous planet… You are still better off being poor in France than in the US today. I’m economically poor. Furthermore, this money is wisely invested as this project involves dozens of highly qualified jobs and new technology to help saving the monument, experience gained that will be very useful for other restauration projects in the future. A nation that do not preserve his past is condemned to vanish in a few generations to come.
Yes well I imagine you have a few pairs of shoes, shirts, and various other belongings you could easily do without and could be used to clothe and feed somebody starving on the streets, but you're not offering those up. Everybody chooses what their limit is.
Because the building is one of a kind,there’s over a billion people, world is overpopulated that’s why people are starving, some countries just keep overpopulated the world
dude, wtf? you use photos and video that do not match what you're talking about. black and white video from the 1500s? video of a normal mass while talking about the mass going on when the fire started? extremely confusing. intentionally confusing?
the cathedral shown at 0:18 is not the notre dame de paris, it is technically a cathedral called notre dame, bbut it is located in strasbourg, not paris
Have you been to Paris and the Notre Dame yet? 😄🇫🇷
no but if i ever get to go to paris then kilometer zero it is.
How I Wish.. 😁
i wish so😢
I wish to visit notre dame
No
You "forgot" to mention that the structural components had been inventoried and also digitally scanned in the years before the fire, so they should be able to reconstruct it with great accuracy
plus they used the video game Assassins Creed. Since they have 3D models of Notre Dame in the video game.
Accuracy is not the problem here. The fact that a one-of-a-kind building is not to be renewed but restored is rather. Meaning that it should not be taken so lightly that the government lets random artist suggest ideas about how it should look like. It takes time and money, furthermore it ruines the quality of the restoration itself. There is a long neverending list of suggestions about designs of Notre Dame. All of which are ridiculous garbage and has nothing to do wtih the original architecture.
Its a conspiracy
If it's not completed in time. So be it. No rush. Do it right. It deserves perfection.
I saw Notre Dame in 1985. I hope to live long enough to see it again. God bless the fire fighters and the restorers.
The firefighters are the ones who let it burn, when they left the 1st time.
I was in Paris in 1976 and visited Notre Dame. The beautiful front stain glass window was impressive. It struck me that once inside, everything seemed so dark, so it was difficult to see much detail of the interior. I seem to remember hearing hymns being sung.

I broadly smiled, nodded and handed them back their camera and said nothing to embarrass them.
In utter horror, almost amounting to panic, I watched the live coverage as Notre Dame burned. I would very much like to see It again when restoration is complete.
Danke. ❤ FÜR DEN WIEDERAUFBAU. IST VERDAMMT WICHTIG. LG
I cried so much that day. And me watching this right now is making me cry again
nice video!
i hope the repair gets done soon and smoothly
Hmmm-start of Holy Week for Muslims
How ever long it takes, may it rise again!
Glad to know that this beautiful church has been saved,
I was in that summer and visited ND... so I saw it just before the fire...
Thank God it's being restored! The most beautiful thing ever constructed by the hand of man.
I'm skeptical of the standard narrative of how it caught fire but be that as it may.
Great and very straight forward story. Thank you
The worker left cigalette on the roof during his restore the forests.🔥🔥🔥🔥
I visited this most beautiful cathedral in 1986 as an American architectural interior designer student touring Europe and I was devastated to see this iconic building on fire, my heart sank. I understand that people want to enhance the world new things but when I heard in this video that they were having a contest to repair this World Heritage site on how to repair this site I wanted to choke. Thinking that I’m going to find a stupid pyramid in the middle of the cathedral and ruin the building. People today usually do not understand history and why things were the way they were, therefore the building will never be the same.
Thank God they are preserving this precious religious symbol for future generations. It is vital we preserve our Western culture and historical churches and cathedrals. 🙏👏
I don’t want them to rush the construction to open on Dec 8th, 2024. Rushing loses the beauty of bringing it back to its former glory. Safety, accuracy, and finding a way to ensure this doesn’t happen again should be the priority. ❤
The clip at 6:54 is of firefighters at the York Minster fire in the 1980s. 🤔
I remember one of the early submissions for the redesign was a glass roof, which looked modern and that kind of thing worked for the Reichstag Building, but the designer completely forgot that the wooden roof covers over stone vaulting, and it's impossible to remove those vaulting without the walls caving inwards, a design by someone who had no clue how the actual building is constructed.
I'm glad some of the expertise of the workers at Guédelon Castle, using their knowledge of vaulting and carpentry to assist in the conservation and rebuild.
Scary how some designers and architects have no concept of structure.....I never heard that It almost got a gaudy HGTV style make over on the roof😂
Hats off to the French people for saving it they save Notre Dame! I’m trying to go to France this summer I’d like to speak French but my doesn’t allow it here because this is an English thing
Top Luxury videos as always.
I am ecstatic that the Cathedral will be restored to its original splendor, instead of the atrocious “modern” designs that had been submitted by various artists.
Hire a night fire guard. It's expensive, but not as bad as rebuilding the whole thing.
The "firefighters" received an alarm and couldn't find the fire; they left and came back 30 minutes later when the roof was completely in flames. They turned a minor fire into a 1/2 billion dollar debacle. Almost as shameful as asking the world to pay for their mistakes.
12:23 why show the Notre Dame de Rouen in this video? This is about Paris!
I hope they put sprinklers in this time!!!!
I was there last month and there is still so much work to be done. I’m thinking re-opening is closer to 2025. I hope that I am happily, wrong. However, the structural integrity cannot be rushed. We will definitely be back, once the Cathedral re-opens.
omg notre dame went down 4 years ago?!?!?? lt felt like only 2 holy fuck
Raise your hand if you've been watching Top Luxury for a long time🤚
shut up mate

Wonderful News 🌹💖💖💖💖
Are we never going to learn about the man on the roof after the fire?
I was in Notre Dame in 1997 with my fiancée. It was dark and grimy inside due to centuries of candle smoke and dust pollution. Very pleased to see it being restored. Just a big pity me and my then fiancée became disengaged
I was there sinting till 4am, till it was safe... a very sad day to see a monument that survived almost everything, destroyed by stupid construction workers or electric default. I am glad we will restore it soon enough even if la Foret, the name of the framework that we had not finished to study, will be lost forever. There is french movie, Notre Dame brule, that shows the fireman's intervention for people who wants to know, and regular update are made about the restoration.😊
In my fictional world, this project already finished rebuild and successful
Let us hope Notre Dame will re-open in 2024 - a real icon and symbol. Vive le France!
06:19 Anyone else note the cretaure of doom that flew by? Like a spell cast...
Scary!
Its interesting they found relics and statues that are not weathered. Anything from 1300 can be rebuilt. Thank God. Only art can be lost.
Notre Dame and the French People are one. The World was Crying when she was burning
I pray they complete it fully, soundly, and safely. Vive le France. Vive la Libertė
You forgot that there's a winner of a new Notre Dame design
It was set
In a video that was live, there was a man on the roof not far from the fire
Don't think they will be 100% done by summer 2024. But almost, so you can go inside it
Let's not sugar coat it, This was definitely an Arson. And it was done by a specific group of people that European countries are in constant defense of.
1:31 that's the portrait of the other Sully who lived 5 centuries later
You don't have to be religious to appreciate historic buildings like Notre Dame. As for the cause, who knows, but have you ever known a Frenchman without a cigarette?
The newspaper article at 3:36, supposedly from 1844, refers to a different church. Indeed, the newspaper, the “Worcester Telegram,” is dated 1969.
♥ Yeah! really SHODDY work by the site owner!
I don't think they should rebuild the spire, it's such a new addition to the building and has always looked out of place.
There was originally a spire during medieval times, but it was smaller and got demolished in the 1700 i believe.
Im impressed it was only 830 million,
viv la France.
The cause is found just not published.
I find it amazing that they can raise $1 billion in under 24 hours to help Notre Dame, but people can be starving living on the streets, and nothing can be done for them.
Amazing where our priorities lie
Nobody wants to visit Paris to see their homeless druggies.
And some are invaders
Totally disagree.
Even though poverty sucks wherever you live on this marvelous planet…
You are still better off being poor in France than in the US today.
I’m economically poor.
Furthermore, this money is wisely invested as this project involves dozens of highly qualified jobs and new technology to help saving the monument, experience gained that will be very useful for other restauration projects in the future.
A nation that do not preserve his past is condemned to vanish in a few generations to come.
Yes well I imagine you have a few pairs of shoes, shirts, and various other belongings you could easily do without and could be used to clothe and feed somebody starving on the streets, but you're not offering those up. Everybody chooses what their limit is.
Because the building is one of a kind,there’s over a billion people, world is overpopulated that’s why people are starving, some countries just keep overpopulated the world
At the beginning, it's not Notre Dame in Paris, but the Strassbourg cathedral.
dude, wtf? you use photos and video that do not match what you're talking about. black and white video from the 1500s? video of a normal mass while talking about the mass going on when the fire started? extremely confusing. intentionally confusing?
3:20 he uses an article about a small church in the US with the same name as source saying the cathedral was going to be sold… 🙄
Goddess energy was removed there at that time. So sad😢
What a grim day. A piece in all of us died that day when we saw smoke pouring out of the roof
March 2024 is the target, I was there recently and I don't believe it will be ready in time!
the cathedral shown at 0:18 is not the notre dame de paris, it is technically a cathedral called notre dame, bbut it is located in strasbourg, not paris
is the restoration taking place according to the original canon or with the admission of changes in design and decoration?
Never underestimate the gall of a smoker.
Nice Video and how did you get this information
