First look at Notre Dame’s breathtaking restoration five years after fire

[@kelechukwuanozyk7605]

Macron was really determined. He said five years, and he tried very well to accomplish that. Congratulations to France

[@clemguitarechal]

Macron has nothing to do with it. just so you know. A french guy, cheers.

[@jlasf]

France is on a roll - or, perhaps, baguette. The Olympics were amazing. (I was there.) And now the magnificent new Notre Dame. Bravo France! 🗼

[@judithrapier7500]

I saw it in 1972, my 21st birthday. It was very dark. The walls were dark gray and the wood didn't have any shine to it. Now as it was when built. Beautiful.

[@blu48]

I was there in 2002. I noticed the same as you did. The gray stone walls and dark wood. I wonder what the pews will look like when they are installed.

[@blu48]

Notre Dame is my absolute favorite of all the structures in Paris! 🇫🇷✝️❤

[@craigcamp26]

Exactly what I thought. I was watching reports on Syria, when I saw this and my heart sang. They did such a beautiful job!

[@ImmanuelContrarian]

The reconstruction of Notre Dame will go down as one of the great architectural designs in History. It is very beautiful and fancy.

Magnificent! Hope to take a tour when in Paris. ❤

The Saga of Notre Dame Part IV And At Last, The Bells Five years it’s been since that dread night When the world was treated to the sight The fire that threatened with terrible glow The Notre Dame and the Windows Rose A fire that raged all through the night Lit from within, the windows alight The Windows Rose from long ago Were threatened by a fire’s glow. And all of France rushed to the scene Their goal, save all that saved could be A grand old Church built long ago Lit from within by dread fire’s glow. They fought and sweated all night long While Frenchmen cheered in speech and song To save the church from long ago From fire’s deadly, ash-choked glow. And dawn returned, as all dawns must, And Frenchmen peering through ash and dust For just one glimpse of the Windows Rose That fire threatened by midnight’s glow. And lo, the sun’s first rays did show Not one or two of the Windows Rose All three survived, and the tears did flow The sun shone bright, and the Windows glowed. And one year later, 'midst plague we did see the streets were empty, as they should be But some few came to mark the day of the year before when the world did pray and that day, the bells rang out to mark the Church and nation against the Dark they survived the fire, they'll survive the plague they survive no matter how dark the day and the Church that looks the centuries down stands in the middle of Paris town with the Windows Rose lit by sun's glow and the bells ring out, and onward France goes. Two years had passed, since that dread night When fire set Notre Dame alight France sang and prayed two years ago Through fire’s deadly, ash-choked glow. But listen, my children, and you shall hear Of trees that were planted many a year Before that night, when the spire fell So listen, good people, and let me tell Those trees were planted, ‘gainst day of need And many years later, are needed indeed For France rebuilt the Notre Dame But not with steel; no, not at all They built the Church in the same way They built it then, and again today With wood and craft and loving care Till spire arises into the air And a day did dawn, as dawn it must And Frenchmen peered through craftsmen’s dust At a grand old church, a famous nom The chapel in France called Notre Dame No trace of fire was there to be found And all of Paris did hear the sound Of bells to mark the joyous way Of A Church reborn, again that day And Frenchmen will cheer in speech and song A fire survived, of a right once wronged Notre Dame reopens, the sun’s arose And shines again on the Windows Rose. And five years later, the church stands tall Rebuilt, and proud, to welcome all The spire rises into the air The bells now sound, and look you there The church survived that night of flame And France and the world together came To build it back, the world to show The Notre Dame and the Windows Rose. facebook.com/share/r/omBWevGBXa3CStGo/
