I am English but have spent many happy times in Paris and was horror-struck when I saw Notre Dame Cathedral in flames on the TV news and the declaration of President Macron to restore it in five years and thought it was impossible to restore it in such a short time and doubted if the skills still existed to be able to restore it but men and women from France and from all parts of the world proved that they not only had the skills to do it but would do it in five years, this was a monumental achievement not only for France and Paris but for the whole world, and it's been re-built from the most noble of all human emotions, love. I had no skills to offer in the restoration, but I did donate half of my monthly army pension and some savings to help restore one of the world's great architectural treasures, and I look forward to seeing it for myself next year. Vive Le France.
Thank you so much for your kind heart and donation. If people like you did not exist, Notre Dame wouldn't be here and restored. Thank you so very very much. 💖
I am American and I was heartbroken for Paris and all of France. My heartfelt congratulations to the people of France. An outstanding effort to save her beauty.
A lot of Americans donated to save the cathedral. I am a French citizen, and the beautiful solidarity that we saw from all over the world was truly beautiful and sacred. Thank you! This cathedral is for all of humanity! 🙏🏻💕

The restoration of Notre Dame is nothing short of a monumental achievement, a testament to human resilience and dedication. The world watched in sorrow as the iconic cathedral was engulfed in flames, yet the spirit of unity and hope that followed was truly inspiring. This comeback is a celebration of our ability to preserve history and heritage. It reflects the unwavering commitment of skilled artisans, architects, and volunteers who have worked tirelessly to bring this beloved landmark back to its former glory. Notre Dame's restoration is a beacon of hope, demonstrating that even in the face of adversity, we can come together to rebuild and restore what is precious to us. The renewed grandeur of Notre Dame is a symbol of the enduring strength of human spirit, and a tribute to the shared cultural legacy that binds us all. It stands as a proud reminder that we can rise from the ashes, more beautiful and united than before. Vive Notre Dame!
Monumental achievement? Seriously? Bro... It's so bad and minimalistic and just BASIC. They spend a billion on what!? Bare walls and a couple of chandelier, as well as a "modern" tub in the centre, which I don't know what it is, but it belongs in a modern bathroom, not in a church I don't understand it. With so much money, they only managed to paint a couple of blue skies on a couple of ceilings with some silver stars stuck on them. Come on! Compare that to the ceilings of like... Saint Peter's basilica. Look at the difference and you'll know what I mean.
@@marioluigi9599 There is always a loser like you who is always against the world. AS IF YOU HAVE DONE BETTER 😒 ¡ Get yourself a dog ! and get yourself a life for Christ sake
The ghosts of the original carpenters and builders where watching and helping to guide your hands...they stood shoulder to shoulder with you as you rebuilt the cathedral... well done to one and all❤❤
Thanks NBC from a Swedish atheist. Very interesting topic. Also solidly produced by everyone involved. So thanks again to the entire NBC team. Seeing how people from all over the world gather around a project of this magnitude is uplifting and gives hope that maybe collaboration is the right way to go. I congratulate France, Paris and everyone involved, for a fantastic job.
It’s still a cultural symbol and a treasure of ancient artistry and ingenuity, I was not raised a Christian and don’t really believe in anything now, but I still recognize the importance of structures like these. If we lose them, we lose our connection with the past.
There is a French writer named Jean Giono, who wrote a short story of a man who spent his life largely in solitude, planting trees in a desolate place, and transforming it into an eden. While that story is about solitary self-sacrifice, and the restoration of Notre Dame is as this reportage shows, a large community effort, it still reminds me of a quote from the Giono story, that "...men could be as effectual as God in other realms than that of destruction." If you have time, read the story The Man Who Planted Trees, or google the brilliant 20 minute animated film made back in the 80s. It always restores my faith in our wonderfully flawed species.
This looks like a caricature of its previous state. See how Notre Dame looked like before fire and now when it's "restored". It's a joke on all of us and people who chipped in one way or another, to get it rebuilt.
I was too stunned emotionless and also a bit angry at people in social media uploading THEIR photos with the Cathedral as background, I repeated the comment: It isn't about you! The re construction reopening a couple of days ago, my God, I couldn't stop sobbing like a baby.
I was a coach driver in Paris in April 2019. I saw the smoke and flames from my bedroom window. I cried when it was confirmed it was Notre Dame. I'm not religious but this was a stunning building. I would love to see how much better this beautiful building is now.
We always need our landmarks in life. The fire was a horrific event, almost beyond imagining, and it broke the hearts of everyone who loves great beauty and its long history. So the resurrection of Notre Dame presents us with a solid message of hope, encouraging us to face our own difficulties with fortitude.
It breaks my heart that it burnt down, watching it from Australia it was sad 😢 Now I see the Wonder of all that was done, created by the wonderful people who worked on the rebuild. Congratulations to them All & well done France. 🩷💚
@@KnuckleheadParker What a terrible day that was for all of us. But in particular for you (and others) who believed it was all over. The idea of a burnt-out hole in the center of Paris would have been a crushing defeat. It was absolutely necessary for Macron to announce the restoration and fortunately the donations poured in.
Thank you for this beautiful documentary. I cried when Notre Dame burned, I still almost do when I see the images of it burning, even knowing it is rebuilt today. I deeply thank the american people (and more broadely all the people) who donated for its restoration.
Notre Dame shines. Thank you to all of the skilled craftsmen and women who brought her back to life. Be proud of your work. It will stand the test of time.
The restoration is a combination of the new and the old. It is wonderful that we still have such ancient skills to restore Notre-Dame with traditional materials. May this skills never become lost arts.
A magnificent landmark back to life thanks to thousands of man and woman from France and around the world that brought it back from its ashes, thank you so much to each one of them, to the donators, to president Macron, an inspiring adventure and challenge that gives little hope again in human kind in so troubled time around the world. God bless Notre Dame
Pas du tout, Notre Dame appartient au Peuple des chrétiens de Paris et à la France Catholique, les autres ont l'Assemblée nationale et le Panthéon pour aller se recueillir auprès de leurs dieux et saints de la république
Great story. Really captures the passion and commitment of those directly involved in the restoration. Kudos to the French government and donors from around the world for their courage and foresight to maintain such a iconic piece of architecture. Beautiful project!
Perfect documentation of the restoration works on the Cathedral. I am impressed by the hard work of these remarkable men and woman that changed Notre Dame to something more beautiful than before.
Thanks for including the organ in your program. It is one of the most impressive components of the interior and was omitted in other programs on the restoration I've seen.
😮! I didn’t expect Notre Dame to have such an amazingly bright, light appearance as a result of this restoration- it’s beautiful! ❤ Very well done! Paris and above all Notre Dame are definitely on my bucket list!
We were walking around the cathedral back in 2022. I couldn't breath when I saw the burn marks, tears couldn't hold in my eyes...later I was dancing in tye street with the band playing music over the wall outside of the cathedral. I'm watching this channel and tears wet my eyes today. Okay, we need go back Paris again within next a few years.
This is a gift to the World and a message, Humankind can achieve such marvels when united, so stop fighting and start loving like all these wonderful people who recreate this unique monument.

Thank you and congratulations to all who worked so hard to bring her back to life. I love how you all sang together when done. Your work is a great gift to the world. I hope to be able to visit once again.
When I saw it burning I cried like a baby. Even today I get emotional. It is so good to see it rise again. Notre dame is not just a building, it is something more.
I'm not religious in the slightest, but can still appreciate the architecture of such a beautiful building and its hisory. It moved me how this brougt so many different people togethr.
Excellent reportage, merci à tous ceux qui se sont mobilisés, (les donateurs, et tous les artisans), pour redonner au monde ce trésor qui lui appartient😄👍
Thank you from the bottom of my heart ❤️ for covering this. I remember when the travesty happened and followed closely as the world watched. Quite a beautiful undertaking of restoration from all over the world 🌎. God Bless us all. 🙏
I'm so emotional to see and feel the unity of the human race around the world to come together to rebuilt the historical Notre Dame Catheral, It was beyond expectations. Notre Dame not only belongs to France. It also belong to the world.
NOTRE DAME , Mother of The Church , pray for France, the Daugther of the Church, for her awakening, and pray for peace in the world. Amen! God bless France and her habitants🙏 LOVE YOU SO MUCH
It’s amazing to me how some people can make bitter, hateful comments about such a magnificent achievement. Peace be to them. Their bitterness is their punishment.
My heart sank when I saw Notre Dame on fire. I am elated to see it fully restored. In 1980, my church had a fire, thankfully nowhere near as devastating as this. The steeple was struck by lightning. The cross atop the spire (steeple) crashed through the roof. Thankfully the fire was contained to the steeple. In 2007, as part of a complete restoration of the church, a new steeple was installed, with a finish to make it look aged and equipped with lightning protection.
Thanks for this amazing and intelligent reporting from a former 35 years-long Parisian ! And Thanks from the bottom of my ❤ to the heroes of this unthinkable renaissance ! Can't wait to visit Notre-Dame again ! 😊
Hooray for Notre Dame and France!!! My mother and older daughter both saw it at separate times years before the fire. It was so sad. It is now back and beautiful and glorious!!!
Now people can see it as it was when it was newly built, almost 900 years ago. Could the stars on the ceiling be seen before the cleaning? Centuries of tallow candles, and now all that is gone. Amazing job.
My family, all of us cultural and historical buffs, were in complete shock at what happened on that April day. We donated our fair share to the group, not knowing if it would make any difference. Today, the most iconic Gothic Cathedral in the world is alive again, all thanks to the people from around the world who wanted to help. God Bless all those who helped. May Heaven shine upon you as you watch this centre of a nation's spirit is resurrected
Whatever religion you are, or whether you're an atheist, it's always painful to see such a magnificent piece of heritage burn. Seeing it rebuilt... wow. It shows humanity can still do some incredibly amazing things. If only we could do that all the time...
To be honest……this fire, while it was devastating actually showed in a way just how old Notre Dame truly became in terms of the architecture. I saw another video where this lady who with a crew was working on cleaning all of the paintings/mosaics, and she stated that not only were they cleaning off ash and soot from the fire but….they were cleaning off years, and years of dust and grime from since the cathedral was first built. She even showed before and after pictures of what some of the paintings looked like from right after the fire, to now and there is an immediate but remarkable difference. I think a lot of people who aren’t too fond of any historic buildings like the Notre Dame being renovated need to understand that while there’s historical significance especially when these buildings were created more than 100 years ago….due to the factor, some of them haven’t been renovated at all or maybe they have but very little was done which means that eventually these buildings would’ve become health and safety hazards. So in a way, the fire at Notre Dame was actually a blessing in disguise because now the cathedral has been getting a few years of well needed TLC. Hopefully once it does open back up, whatever safety renovations they did on it to prevent any more tragedies like this is….actually work, and it keeps the cathedral safe for another 100 years.
You seem to think that 100 years is a lot. ND Cathedral is 900 years old FYI. You should visit Europe. Plane tickets from the US are not that expensive.
old dust and soot is not more risky or a health hazard than new dirt and soot. We don't ask you to lick the walls. Most of Notre-Dame had already been renovated or restaured but many years ago. Usually it's done progressively so you never see the whole cathedral fully restaured at once.
Congratulations on the restoration & reopening of Notre Dame, it's beautiful once again.My heart is joyful for all of France, the Teams of craftspersons who labored & the Faithful throughout the world who supported with prayers. ❤❤
Even before the fire, the white walls, sculptures, glass windows were stained by smoke from years of candlelight. I hope they limit candle burning in the future.
Rebuilding the Notre Dame cathedral is very important for future generations because Europe culture has Christian roots. Thank you to all workers and donors who supported that magnificent cathedral God Bless You and Your Family’s ❤
This magnificent restoration is the result of a collective effort. When France is politically wobbly, a question comes to mind: why can’t we live together ? With General Georgelin another person led this work. Azzedine Hedna a scaffolding worker who unfortunately died of illness a few days ago.
Why can't we live together is indeed the question. According to a historian, we've never managed to agree on the way to be governed since the 16th century religious wars. Unlike our neighbours, we seem to be unable to let go of our political divisions for the greater good. That's why this collective effort is such a balm to all, whatever our persuasion or lack thereof. Thanks to all, at home and abroad, who helped to make this dream happen.

To be honest……this fire, while it was devastating actually showed in a way just how old Notre Dame truly became in terms of the architecture. I saw another video where this lady who with a crew was working on cleaning all of the paintings/mosaics, and she stated that not only were they cleaning off ash and soot from the fire but….they were cleaning off years, and years of dust and grime from since the cathedral was first built. She even showed before and after pictures of what some of the paintings looked like from right after the fire, to now and there is an immediate but remarkable difference. I think a lot of people who aren’t too fond of any historic buildings like the Notre Dame being renovated need to understand that while there’s historical significance especially when these buildings were created more than 100 years ago….due to the factor, some of them haven’t been renovated at all or maybe they have but very little was done which means that eventually these buildings would’ve become health and safety hazards. So in a way, the fire at Notre Dame was actually a blessing in disguise because now the cathedral has been getting a few years of well needed TLC. Hopefully once it does open back up, whatever safety renovations they did on it to prevent any more tragedies like this is….actually work, and it keeps the cathedral safe for another 100 years.
You seem to think that 100 years is a lot. ND Cathedral is 900 years old FYI.
You should visit Europe. Plane tickets from the US are not that expensive.
@@sandweiler4640I think he knows. Let's not be condescending 😂
old dust and soot is not more risky or a health hazard than new dirt and soot. We don't ask you to lick the walls. Most of Notre-Dame had already been renovated or restaured but many years ago. Usually it's done progressively so you never see the whole cathedral fully restaured at once.
Congratulations on the restoration & reopening of Notre Dame, it's beautiful once again.My heart is joyful for all of France, the Teams of craftspersons who labored & the Faithful throughout the world who supported with prayers. ❤❤
So sad that General Georgelin didn't live to see it finished and hear the organ play.
The old lady is Back!! 😎😃😍
I've been there back in 1985. It was absolutely the most gorgeous church i had ever been in. It felt so immensely peaceful when i went there.
Even before the fire, the white walls, sculptures, glass windows were stained by smoke from years of candlelight.
I hope they limit candle burning in the future.

GOD MAKES BEAUTY COME FROM ASHES‼️👍🏽👍🏽HE IS FAITHFUL IN ALL THINGS‼️🙌🏽👍🏽👍🏽🥳🥳🎊🎊
Rebuilding the Notre Dame cathedral is very important for future generations because Europe culture has Christian roots. Thank you to all workers and donors who supported that magnificent cathedral God Bless You and Your Family’s ❤
Thank you so much for showing the piece of this epic story. God bless you all.
Waouh 😮!
Their still hopes in this world.
All my respect to all people contributing to that incredible achievment 🙏🙏
This magnificent restoration is the result of a collective effort. When France is politically wobbly, a question comes to mind: why can’t we live together ? With General Georgelin another person led this work. Azzedine Hedna a scaffolding worker who unfortunately died of illness a few days ago.
Why can't we live together is indeed the question. According to a historian, we've never managed to agree on the way to be governed since the 16th century religious wars. Unlike our neighbours, we seem to be unable to let go of our political divisions for the greater good. That's why this collective effort is such a balm to all, whatever our persuasion or lack thereof. Thanks to all, at home and abroad, who helped to make this dream happen.
Forever Amazing
It’s refreshing to CBS getting back to real news!

Such a beautiful tribute and such an incredible accomplishment thank you
Monumental work of labour and love. As Joan of Arc said often "Help yourself and God will help you"
