Notre-Dame de Paris, the medieval Catholic cathedral in Paris, France, was reopened on 7 December 2024 following completion of the restoration work five years after the fire that destroyed the cathedral's spire and roof and caused extensive damage to its interior on 15 April 2019.

The reopening ceremony was presided over by the archbishop of Paris, Laurent Ulrich, in the presence of the French president, Emmanuel Macron, and other dignitaries, including present and former heads of state and government.[1][2] This was followed by an inaugural mass on 8 December at which a new altar was consecrated, and a series of public services over the following days.[3][4]
