Technicians work under a vault of the Notre-Dame de Paris Cathedral ahead of a visit of French President Macron two years after the blaze that collapsed the spire and destroyed much of the roof on April 15, 2021. The actual restoration work has yet to begin as time up until now has been spent on securing the building, and the full restoration works should begin early next year.

Two years after the blaze that devastated the beloved cathedral of Paris, the management of the funds dedicated to its reconstruction is being debated as the second phase of the restoration project is due to start by next winter.
