Canadian Emily MacKinnon from London, Ontario walks near the Notre-Dame de Paris cathedral, in Paris, on December 2, 2024, a few days before its reopening. Emily MacKinnon has wanted to become a guide to the monument for years. A project she had to put on hold after the 2019 fire that ravaged the cathedral, but which she now intends to pursue with a one-year work visa in her pocket, just as the cathedral is due to reopen on December 7, 2024.
