Unveiling The New Notre Dame - 2024 Restoration Update 

An insanely expensive but much need restoration 🔥🔥will anyone be visiting anytime soon?

Would have been nice to credit the gentleman who made the 3D scan of the Cathedral. His name was Andrew Tallon. He was an art historian and professor at Vassar College. He scanned Notre Dame de Paris in 2015. Professor Tallon passed away in November 2018 at the age of 49. If you look up his name along with Vassar College in your favorite search engine you’ll find the part of Vassar’s website dedicated to his work.

The cost to rebuild is worth every penny. I'm so glad I saw it before it burned and would love to see it again. I'm not sure I'll be able to do that but she is just a grand and precious "lady" and may she live forever.

Long Live Notre Dame.Amen😊

As an American, I can’t possibly overstate my appreciation to the French people for ensuring that this incredible landmark received the highest attention to detail with much love and care in this fine old lady’s restoration. So many other historical landmarks should have been treated with the same understanding of their historical significance that they would’ve been repaired as needed instead of being ignored. The Parthenon is one such building. People generally aren’t aware of this, but the vast majority of the damage to the Parthenon happened during the 18th and 19th centuries. The English even had the gall to remove many of the Parthenon’s gorgeous fresco’s that surround the building along its roofline, and placed them in a museum where they sit to this day, with the English government refusing to return them back to their rightful owners, the Greek government. Unfortunately, some idiot thought that the Parthenon was going to be a good place to store live ammunition. Needless to say, it most certainly wasn’t. She too has been undergoing significant repairs and restoration, but not even remotely close to the actual work that she deserves. The Parthenon should have undergone a complete restoration, and it should’ve happened long before now. Most people don’t understand the historical significance of this building. She’s literally the very first building of her type, and emboldened significant changes to follow-on buildings around the entire world. Another such building is the Roman Colosseum. She too should have been restored back to her original design and specifications. Perhaps one day, the Italian government will come to see the architectural and historical significance this site brings to all parts of the world, and will finally decide to conduct a full and complete massive restoration of on of the most significant structures of her time. Each of these structures value is essentially priceless. A full and complete restoration of each will ensure their survival well into the distant future for all of mankind, but we must act before there’s nothing left to restore.

Happy for France that Notre Dame have been fully restored to its former glory! 🇫🇷🇬🇧🗺️

I was there 2019 during my visit to France 🇫🇷 and visited in 2023. Lots of good work was done already. Definitely will be there in December 2024.

Imagine the patience, spanning centuries , the builders had to erect this gorgeous edifice. Incredible !

I absolutely loved this video. Thank you.

Paris is a most beautiful iconic city and this particular Church holds a special place in my heart towards Heaven. God’s hand took a place in the restoration of a great Lady Notre Dame. God was and is great to let France 🇫🇷 rebuild for our pleasure. Thank you God.🇺🇸🌹✝️🙏🌹

Quite disappointed in this so-called 'update.' It's basically a recap of everything we knew already. We're already in 2024, so a real update would have included whether they expect to make that target of the end of 2024.

Very interesting video! Thank you for posting it!😊

The image used for French Henri VII is an image long used for Richard the lionhearted king of England! 1:19

no scares of fire. purely perfect.

Without the financial support from around the world, it would have been very difficult to complete this restoration so quickly. The French people are deeply grateful to foreigners of any culture or religion who participated in this act of generosity according to their means.

I read that a lot of the laser scans were done for a video game before the fire.

I appreciate the effort to highlight the renovation of Notre Dame Cathedral. There was one error that was highlighted on the ND building. The flying buttresses are the structures supporting the walls on either side of the cathedral, a significant feature of Gothic architecture. You may want to correct this item.

The craftsmanship of the laborers may be more worthy of praise than the crafty conniving of the aristocracy and religious hierarchy. Nevertheless, an impressive building and better money on that than the instruments of war and destruction?

Very impressive how the French have brilliantly pursued the reconstruction of their iconic cathedral.

Thank you very much for the Report!

Wonderful video. Thank you

The idea that many specialists from all over the world came together to rebuild this iconic church is a testament to what people can do when they make their minds up to do it.

Phil Spencer is a huge fan of the 15th century cathedral of notre dame that made the best appearance in the Disney movie the hunchback of notre dame from 1996.

Really hate when the thumbnail photo has been doctored to not represent a real thing.

Thanks for the update!

Wonderful !!!

Id like to go there again; i think the last time i was there was 1987. But I'll wait until the Olympics have finished and the increased transport costs have reverted to normal, and the hotel prices are back to normal too... if i can afford it

Funny how these fires always start while the builders are in.

So when will it be completed? It's amazing that this is even possible.

I look forward to seeing it when the restoration has been completed.

God bless everyone frenchie :-)

I hate to tell you, but your graph illustrating the 5 year restoration timeframe starts in 2017 rather than 2019 when the fire occurred. The error is especially glaring since the visuals don’t match the narrative. Time to get a new editor?

The organ received no water damage.

Do Not Modernize the Steeple ! I was on the top of the towers in March 1969...

It would have been nice if the video was actually about what the title says instead of yet another recap of the history of the cathedral and the fire.

The fire was in 2019, not 2017.Check your video.

The mystery is tha while construction was getting done it went on fire . And now some one will get a contract for 900.000 .000

99% of this I have seen in other videos. I want to see what the cathedral looks like today, not just the whole history again and again (not only your fault). I (along with many) watch a fair amount of videos on the Notre Dame, so nothing was new. I fast forwarded, and hoped to see the cathedral as it was 3 days ago (as I write), but nothing. If there is a new view, please give me the time code so I can see it. The only thing I know for sure is that it doesn't look like in the thumbnail!

This issue is how to prevent its destruction again. That was no accident.

It's a missed opportunity for a modern upgrade to the roof structure, but still it is an amazing rebuilt.

This is of poor quality and click bait. Don't you know what a flying buttress is?

What a poorly produced video. The mismatch between the narration and images is at times laughable. There are many, much better produced videos available.

I was amazed how quickly hundreds of millions of dollar were raised to do the restoration. Renovating the Statue of Liberty saw no effort from the City of New York, or the US government.

YAWN!!!!!!!!

Remarkable determination.

Instead of building the roof trusses in steel which would prevent fire and help in lightning strikes, they are rebuilding it with wooden trusses. This is like building a working replica of the TITANIC with the same number of lifeboats as before for historical accuracy. With the money available, the trusses could have been made out of stainless steel and would have never degraded. Fire suppression usually damages things. The best way is to build things which just don't burn. They are treating the timber to reduce burning. Watch the treatment chemical turn out to be a carcinogen. That spire doesn't fit with the original building. Someone felt a need to make their mark on a harmonious and completed building. The French government ruined the Louvre by sticking those glass triangles up out of the ground. Let's see how they mess this thing up.

i felt a small feel. it wasnt right though

"Quailty" is not "Quality". Check your graphics.

Update the unrest in everything. 2030 is a conservative estimate for completion.

This is not a "restoration update" It is just a regurgitation of already known facts. Pure clickbait.

1:27 - That's not a flying buttress. Am I supposed to take you seriously?

@The Impossible Build; erm, this ISNT the first - nor last example of your apparent unfamiliarity with (let's just call them 'simple thimgs', instead of things people with a brain would know), but, THIS (6:25) is NOT 'limestome', nor is it 'stone' of ANY kind by any stretch of the imagination, yet, for some ...reason, YOU chose this shot to be seen, JUST as the VO is starting to mention 'lmestone'. As I said, it's not a 'oops, you're being too harsh', no, it's NOT the first in this thing. Better you stick to something you can easily do; to sell pencils.

No se que le hizo mas daño, el incendio o el nuevo diseño, es como cambiarle la sonrisa a la Mona Lisa, terrible I don't know what hurt it more, the fire or the new design, it's like changing Mona Lisa's smile, terrible Je ne sais pas ce qui m'a fait le plus mal, l'incendie ou le nouveau design, c'est comme changer le sourire de Mona Lisa, terrible

When showing the restoration, please don’t show the flames engulfing Notre Dame. I want to be reminded of that horrendous incident

Little to nothing about the restoration. Another repeat of history from other sources. Don’t waist your time.

They barely resisted the modern desire to make it look butt ugly. Hang, on wait...... not finished yet.......

RU-vid, Bring back the thumbs down! This is getting ridiculous!

…..and to think the fire could’ve been prevented if a blue collar construction worker hadn’t thrown his still lit cigarette butt. 🤔🤷🏼‍♂️🤔🤷🏼‍♂️

Compulsory downvote for revolting clickbait thumbnail.

They should have rebuilt it the way it was 😢 it looks horrible!

I already knew all this. This video is only useful to people who haven’t been following this project. The title is misleading.

Imagine spending 1 billion ($1,000,000,000) dollars to restore ONE building. Insane.

There is no unveiling. This is a short, shabby video. Clickbait for sure.

Nothing new. Click bait

Too bad the French didn't update the spire as your intro image shows. What a wonderful 21st century improvement to a 13th/14th century cathedral.

Where was the unveiling? It was just a recap…title needs changing to recap of the tragedy…good video but not what was promised

Clickbait. The headline modern 'photo' is thankfully NOT what the new spire will look like.

The very loud, added camera sound snapshot effects are harsh and distracting. And unnecessary. They ruined the video for me.

Wonderful done🙏 In Europe they are very far to rebuild their wonderful buildings, 🙏 BRAVO🎉🎉 Thank you Blessed Notre , and continue to bless all who has making and working on this beautiful PROYECT AMEN 🙏 THANK YOU PRESIDENT MACRON, FOR TO BE A PART OF IT SINCE THE BEGINNING.🙏 MANY HAS BOYCOTTED YOU, BUT YOUR PLANS WAS VICTORIOUS 🙏

Islamic Architecture is truly beautiful

Hope they billed the church?

Whats impossible is that those in charge will never release the facts about who burned down the church

Screenshot was clickbait. Lousy update offering nothing new.

Recycled and stolen content. You add nothing of value.

Not everybody looked on in horror, many in the streets of Paris were jubilant over it. Guess who?

Sorry, but I don't like the new spire. Looks like a bit of Las Vegas.

No one should've paid for this to be rebuilt except the church. They have more than enough money.

This restoration is not as beautiful as the original structure. Personally I think it’s ugly what is that on top the Eiffel tower?they should of left alone and made it the same as it was … sad they ruined it in my opinion

Hi there, Let me introduce myself, my name is Aldie, a professional voice over talent who speaks fluent Indonesian. I'm sure your videos will be more interesting to Indonesian viewers if they are delivered by a narrator in Indonesian. This of course also expands the reach of your videos. That's why I'm interested in working with you. Can there be opportunities? Regards

Seriously!!!!!!!!! You called the tower a flying buttress. This is NOT OK. And your thumbnail picture shows you have no integrity.

The pic is ridiculous. The editing is amateurish

This is just a poorly pieced together rehash of clips. There is little new detail and nothing substantial regarding the restoration. Subscriber lost

It looks really ugly....

Embarrassing. Pathetic. We know why the original design was replaced with this modern art crap.. There are no artisans today who can replicate the original.

Childish video. Is that the intent here? Show this to your 5th grade class?

I hope they planted at least a tree for every tree they cut down to rebuild this place. They cut down a lot of beautiful trees to restore this building. Trees are much more important than this place. We have failed to see this.

Send the Vatican the bill.

They could have done it in four years if they worked 5 days a week instead of just 4. They’ve taken a full year off in these 5 years. Is it any wonder that the French GDP is one of the lowest in Europe. LOL

Why should Catholics be concerned with refurbishing or otherwise effecting structural alterations or repairs on a church, much less a cathedral, where the Holy Sacrifice of The Msss is not even celebrated nor The Blessed Sacrament adored?
