A couple kiss in front of Notre-Dame de Paris cathedral, on the eve of its official reopening after more than five-years of reconstruction work following the April 2019 fire, in Paris on December 6, 2024. Notre-Dame Cathedral is set to re-open early December 2024, with a weekend of ceremonies on December 7 and 8, 2024, five years after the 2019 fire which ravaged the world heritage landmark and toppled its spire. Some 250 companies and hundreds of experts were mobilised for the five-year restoration costing hundreds of millions of euros. (Photo by Ludovic MARIN / AFP)
