First glimpse inside restored Notre-Dame cathedral five years after devastating fire

 Notre-Dame is due to reopen officially to visitors on December 8, though there is expected to long queues to see the cathedral's restored interior.    

As the world-famous Notre-Dame cathedral burned in a devastating 2019 fire, Parisians watched on in tears.

Now, after more than five years of frenetic reconstruction work, the world has been given a first glimpse inside the revived 12th-century landmark.

Today, President Emmanuel Macron is visiting the site to see the restored interiors for himself before the Gothic cathedral reopens for its first worship next month.

The televised visit is set to usher a series of events leading up to the reopening of the cathedral - the reconstruction of which has been hailed as a symbol of national unity and French can-do spirit.
