The first 15 meters long and 10 meters high timber truss is craned into place at Notre-Dame de Paris Cathedral during its restoration following a massive fire 4-years-ago, in Paris on July 11, 2023. Notre-Dame de Paris, which was partially destroyed by fire in 2019, is due to reopen at the end of 2024 with brand-new liturgical furnishings in dark-brown bronze, as well as 1,500 openwork design chairs in solid oak. Eight oak trees have also been selected to be used in the reconstruction of the roof cut from the Berce forest in Jupilles, western France. Photo by Raphael Lafargue/ABACAPRESS.COM
