The inferno that engulfed the 12th century Gothic landmark on April 15, 2019 caused its central frame to collapse and ravaged the famous spire, clock and part of the vault - shocking millions around the world. A temporary metal scaffolding had to be built for the task, which was completed last summer at a cost of 151 million euros, largely on schedule despite a three-month pause in 2020 at the start of the Covid-19 pandemic.They include dismantling and cleaning the huge 18th century organ, the largest in France, that was spared by the fire but coated in lead dust.

A thousand trees have already been cut down in national and private forests across France in preparation.
