French authorities gave a first look into the restored Notre Dame Cathedral in Paris, in footage released on November 29, five years after it was devastated by a huge fire in 2019.
In April 2019, a fire broke out inside the cathedral’s roof space. By the time it was extinguished, its wooden spire had collapsed, most of the wooden roof and upper walls were severely damaged.
The cause has not been determined, but authorities believed that a cigarette or electrical issue may have started the fire.
