Notre dame

We couldn’t finish our series of blogs in Paris without showing an update on how the rebuilding of Notre Dame is progressing. Our hotel was only about an 8 minute walk from it, which I’m not sure we realised when we booked our stay. As we strolled around the neighbourhood, It was quite wonderful glimpsing a different vista of the statuesque cathedral being carefully and skilfully reconstructed. its external skeleton of scaffolding still very much in place and in use.

The view of it from behind clearly shows the extent of the work that still needs to be completed, but what an amazing job they have done with rebuilding the steeple. We cannot wait to return next year and visit the cathedral in all its glory. It’s going to be a magnificent achievement.
