Macron visits Notre-Dame Cathedral

03-12-2024 15:00

Fire in 2019 destroys Notre-Damme Cathedral in Paris. It will open again soon.

President Emmanuel Macron says that fixing it will bring hope. Macron visits the building with his wife, an important church leader, and the main architect, Philippe Villeneuve. He shows them the work.

Many people work hard for five years to fix the church. It is not an easy thing to do. They use old and new tools to make it look like before. Notre Dame is a special and famous place in France. Many people are happy that it will look good again.

Difficult words: fix (to repair), hope (a good feeling about the future), architect (a person who designs buildings and plans their construction).

You can watch the original video in the Level 3 section.

Who visited the Notre-Damme Cathedral with President Emmanuel Macron during its restoration and who is the main architect involved in the project?
