[[Notre-Dame de Paris]], a [[medieval]] [[Catholic]] [[cathedral]] in [[Paris]], [[France]], was reopened on 7 December 2024 following completion of the restoration work five years after [[Notre-Dame fire|the fire]] that destroyed [[Spire of Notre-Dame de Paris|the cathedral's spire]] and roof and caused extensive damage to its interior on 15 April 2019. 

The reopening ceremony was presided over by the [[archbishop of Paris]], [[Laurent Ulrich]], in the presence of the French president, [[Emmanuel Macron]], and other dignitaries, including present and former heads of state and government.<ref name="BBC" /><ref name="France24">{{cite news |date=2 December 2024 |title=Paris prepares to host 50 heads of state at high-security reopening of Notre-Dame Cathedral |url=https://www.france24.com/en/europe/20241202-paris-prepares-to-host-world-leaders-catholic-bishops-at-high-security-reopening-of-notre-dame |access-date=6 December 2024 |agency=France 24}}</ref> This was followed by an inaugural [[Mass in the Catholic Church|mass]] on 8 December at which a new [[altar]] was consecrated, and a series of public services over the following days.<ref name=ndreopening>[https://www.notredamedeparis.fr/en/reopening-ceremonies/ Notre Dame de Paris website, "Reopening Ceremonies"].

==Background==
{{Main|Notre-Dame fire}}

On 15{{nbsp}}April 2019, just before 18:20{{nbsp}}[[Central European Summer Time|CEST]], a [[structural fire]] broke out in the roof space of [[Notre-Dame de Paris]]. By the time the fire was extinguished, the [[Spire of Notre-Dame de Paris|wooden spire]] ([[flèche (architecture)|flèche]]) had collapsed, most of the wooden roof had been destroyed, and the cathedral's upper walls were severely damaged. Extensive damage to the interior was prevented by the [[Vault (architecture)|vaulted]] stone ceiling, which largely contained the burning roof as it collapsed. Many works of art and religious relics were moved to safety, but others suffered smoke damage, and some of the exterior art was damaged or destroyed. The [[altar]], two [[pipe organ]]s, and three 13th-century [[rose window]]s suffered little or no damage, but the fire contaminated the site and nearby areas of Paris with toxic dust and lead.<ref name=plume>{{cite news|first1=Elian|last1=Peltier|first2=James|last2=Glanz|first3=Weiyi|last3=Cai|first4=Jeremy|last4=White|url=https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2019/09/14/world/europe/notre-dame-fire-lead.html|title=Notre-Dame's Toxic Fallout|work=New York Times|date=14 September 2019|access-date=12 April 2020|url-access=limited|archive-date=17 April 2020|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200417114640/https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2019/09/14/world/europe/notre-dame-fire-lead.html|url-status=live}}</ref>
