The iconic Notre Dame Cathedral in Paris is getting ready to reopen next month after more than five years of closure.

Notre-Dame Cathedral will soon reopen its doors after undergoing a five-year renovation period. A fire on April 15, 2019 left significant damage to the iconic cathedral and prompted its yearslong closure to the public. For over eight centuries, the cathedral has been a place of worship and gatherings, as well as a popular tourist attraction.

Visitors will be able to admire Viollet-le-Duc's restored spire, as well as the roofs of the nave and choir.

Full guided tours and group access will be available from June 2025.
