When a massive fire ravaged the iconic Notre-Dame Cathedral in Paris on April 15, 2019, it led to the destruction of the spire, clock and the central frame of the 12th century Gothic landmark. Three years later, the historic cathedral is mostly cleared of a thick layer of soot as an army of craftsmen race to meet a deadline to reopen in time for the 2024 Olympics.
The fire in the Notre-Dame Cathedral triggered an outpouring of generosity with nearly €844 million in donations collected from 340,000 donors in 150 countries to date, according to the public body overseeing the restoration.
Three years later, the gaping hole left in the building is now filled by a forest of scaffolding.
