A series of events will count down to the iconic Parisian cathedral’s reopening five years after a devastating fire.

The forecourt has been redesigned to offer a more welcoming, plant-filled space, with facilities for visitors and worshippers alike. This transformation aims to make the Notre-Dame experience more soothing and spiritual, allowing everyone to enjoy the renovated setting around this must-see monument.

After a fire destroyed much of it in April 2019, the famed cathedral has set its reopening date. Here's how to visit and what you need to know.

In early December, the Notre Dame Cathedral in Paris will reopen after five years of reconstruction. During the first week after reopening, it will be accessible to the faithful and tourists until late evening.
