Notre Dame’s bells ring out across Paris for the first time since fire
The bells of Notre Dame tolled in Paris on Friday for the first time since the 2019 fire that threatened to destroy the Parisian landmark.
At the time of the fire, French President Emmanuel Macron vowed to rebuild the iconic, 861-year-old structure within five years.
“Five years ago, a promise: to rebuild Notre-Dame Cathedral together,” Macron said on X Friday. “Today, its bells are finally ringing thanks to the extraordinary work of so many of you.”
