Notre-Dame’s Towers Reopen To Visitors Six Years After Fire

On April 15, 2019, an infamously massive fire broke out in Notre-Dame de Paris, devastating its roof and causing the 19th century spire to collapse. In the fire, even though the great stone vaulted ceiling held and prevented the complete obliteration of the structure, much of the wooden roof framing, namely la forêt, was destroyed, in addition to extensive damage to the upper walls.
