Après qu’un incendie massif a détruit la majeure partie de l’église de Paris et sa flèche emblématique, les célébrités utilisent les réseaux sociaux pour exprimer leur tristesse.
The ringing of Notre Dame’s bells sounded throughout Paris Friday morning for the first time since a catastrophic fire ravaged the historic cathedral more than five years ago.
Eight restored bells in the iconic structure’s northern belfry, which was partially destroyed in the horrific April 2019 fire, chimed in harmony for about five minutes, proving to be a symbolic moment as the cathedral sets to reopen to the public.
The emotional milestone comes after five years of painstaking restoration and modernization of the 850-year-old cathedral.
“Hearing the bells ring this morning was very moving,” Alexandre Gougeon, who managed the more than year-long installation, told CNN.
He then described the ringing, which was part of a technical test, as “the culmination of a big project.”
