I think the French should be immensely proud of what has been achieved from what seemed like an impossible task. That the cathedral is open again to visitors is a miracle.

From the photos I've seen, it's a massive improvement. It's now closer to the way it would have looked to the builders rather than the dark, dismal way it was after centuries of grime and candle soot. A credit to the French and their way of getting stuff done. If it had been Westminster Abbey that had burnt down, we'd still be arguing 5 years later in committees over what colour the seats should be.

The choice of Pdt Macron was to rebuild Notre Dame roof and church arrow with lead plates, as originally.
But lead metal is a very dangerous poison.
During Notre Dame fire, a lot of lead dust spreads in the air all around.

So happy that this is reopening, and huge thanks to everyone who had a hand in its resurrection. We will be in France in September for between 2 and 3 weeks, with a little more than a week in Paris, and we are so excited to be able to visit!
We must know different French people....
And now for something completely different:
Is it true that for the restoration they used Ubisoft's 8K images, used for the game Assassin's Creed Unity?

Unity was published back in '14 (count in a couple years of development) and the first semi-commercial 8K cameras as far as i know were made available in '16 (Red), so....highly doubtful

Notre-Dame Cathedral and Montparnasse Tower....
I don't know many green-grocers in the UK who would take such care on the presentation of their fruits and veg as these Parisian sellers!
