Notre-Dame de Paris to reopen on December 8, 2019. Five years after the fire which devastated the cathedral, the three large medieval roses have been cleaned and diffuse their subdued colors.
Visitors will also discover brand new lit furniture, sober and massive, in the massive and massive cathedral in Drôme, south of France. The rector expects “13 to 14 million future visitors per year and 40,000 to 45,000 per day, the cathedral can only hold 3,000 people at the same time,” believes its rector, Mgr Olivier Ribadeau-Dumas. “The flower pot in front of the statue was pulverized...The evening of the fire, we were shuddering wondering if the north tower was going to fall or not, taking the entire building with it,’ says the priest, Guillaume Normand, vice-rector of Notre-DAME de Paris. The cathedral will be equipped with new signage in the form of cartels, the tour route will begin in the North and continue to the South.
