Designer Jean-Charles de Castelbajac's vestments for Notre Dame cathedral's post-fire reopening blend a colorful pop-art aesthetic with medieval touches.

The iconic Notre Dame Cathedral in Paris is getting ready to reopen next month after more than five years of closure.

Notre-Dame Cathedral will soon reopen its doors after undergoing a five-year renovation period. A fire on April 15, 2019 left significant damage to the iconic cathedral and prompted its yearslong closure to the public. For over eight centuries, the cathedral has been a place of worship and gatherings, as well as a popular tourist attraction.

A traveling augmented reality experience takes viewers inside the Paris landmark and explores what it took to restore it after a sweeping 2019 fire.

Visitors will be able to admire Viollet-le-Duc's restored spire, as well as the roofs of the nave and choir. Three themed tour routes will be offered, each enabling visitors to discover different facets of the cathedral, from religious heritage to works of art. Full guided tours and group access will be available from June 2025.

Notre Dame of Paris will soon re-open its doors. After being closed since 2019 due to a devastating fire, the landmark will welcome visitors once again on next month, starting Dec. 7. “The cathedral's teams are mobilized to make the ceremonies for the reopening of Notre Dame on Dec.
