- Emmanuel Macron (@EmmanuelMacron) April 15, 2020"We will rebuild Notre-Dame in five years," I promised. We will do everything to meet this deadline. Of course, the site is on hold at the moment due to the health crisis, but it will restart as soon as possible, ”he announced. "I do not think that waiting, disarray are a response to the challenges of the time," he adds.
"The arrow of Notre-Dame will once again soar towards the sky"
“Rescuers, donors, builders, once again, thank you! "," You have paved the way for those better days that are approaching where the French will find the joy of being together and where the arrow of Notre-Dame will once again soar towards the sky, "concludes Emmanuel Macron.
The site has been dormant since March 16 so as not to run any risks for workers and companions mobilized on the site. The actual restoration has not yet started, the teams had to start the dismantling of the scaffolding, the 40,000 pieces of metal of which were stabilized and girdled during the weeks preceding the interruption. This dismantling was to be completed in the summer, and in the Parisien this morning, General Jean-Louis Georgelin, president of the public establishment for the restoration of the cathedral, concedes "perhaps a little delay" for this decisive and risky game.
