Tourist trap. New building that has been rebuilt so many times and they keep pretending it is old iconic building.
In the year of 1530, 38 years or a generation after Columbus beheaded hundreds of Caribbean citizens, The Catholic Church was hanging protestants in Paris, France. Vivre Franc
i remember going to see my grandparents and saw it in flames
Keep out the leftists with their cans of tomato soup.
What did you guys did during the opening celebration of the Olympic???
I personally don’t get why people are so emotional over this.
Merci
13:02 Macron said that "impossible" is not a French word
but its etymology is Anglo-French

"so the impossible is not impossible … it's a French Motto. 'Impossible' is not French"
"Middle English, from Anglo-French & Latin; Anglo-French, from Latin impossibilis, from in- + possibilis possible"
I've never seen ghosts and Notre Dame haters
If you think the house is impressive, you should meet the guy who lives there.
May god bless you
11:47 800 years from now people will wonder, whos this? A saint? A mystery….
Ive never been to church but i am a craftsman who understands true quality workmanship and that is just outstanding
“ You are Peter in upon this rock, I will build my church and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it“ . “Destroy this temple and in three days, I will raise it up.“ long live Christ the king long live the word incarnate long live the king of the universe Viva Cristo, Rey!
This church was an accident waiting to happen! This restoration was a long time coming! It’s holds too much history just to let it go. Glad they made it happen!
i do not like the modern elements Macron decided to add. They dont fit
I have never been to Paris, never will get there but I am a history buff and am thrilled to see it rebuilt so beautifully for generations to come
I am in awe of the craftsmen and women who have put their hearts and souls into rebuilding Notre Dame to her former glory. The effort and detail they brought is a testament not just to their skills and patience but their love of old, beautiful architecture saving not only the cathedral but the cherished, priceless works of art including her Pipe Organ and ceiling. Kudos to the FF who saved as much as they could and to all the folks who donated to revive her.
It’s sad they did not close it and spend that money helping the people like Jesus would have.
The “restoration” included modern additions which are truly ugly and not fitting with the original building. Case in point is the blob of a supposed alter and the lawn chairs for the attendants. I’m glad they cleaned the wax from the glass.
Strange not a single bishop or warden or any mention of God. Amazing achievement, vive la France.
Macron is such a hypocrite. He has no respect for faith, Socialist, that he is.
He is still letting Islam destroy beautiful France.
Installing a rooster instead of a cross is blasphemy.
The Hunchback would be proud, but he was sad there was no mention of him in this documentary.
The light in the Cathidral is Jesus Christ Messias Himself. In the Holy Spirit ☆ Wunderful done
Solie deo gloria
Amen

Wonderful work!
Atheist, deep appreciator of culture and art. I rejoice for the French people and look forward to my next visit.
I've had the great luck to visit Notre Dame before the fire. I've visited many, many other great Christian Cathedrals in many old and famous states of Europe. But Notre Dame was something special. The instant you entered, you just knew, knew in your heart that you were in the creation of a Great Civilization. A Great People. A Great Faith. Both outside and in, it hits you. The beauty, the elegance, the magnificence.
This is the West I want the succeeding generations of Great Civilizations to remember, and the West I'm willing to fight for to exist as long as it can.
my biggest wish is for the French not to forget their Christian roots and to live their faith in Jesus every day. I wish them this with all my heart
In 1886 : France towards USA : To build the Statue of Liberty
In 2019 : USA towards France : To (re)-build Notre-Dame cat.
Ԑ> Together = Stronger <3
Seeing this beauty shakes me to the core. We have to protect it even more than before. We ALL know who desecrates and destroys and our churches and hates other faiths.
I have no understanding why the construction workers were not intervieved. It is suspected that a cigarette started the fire. I would like to know if Muslims were part of the construction workers?

Future mosque of France looks amazing
Visited in 2016, looking forward to another trip from Australia maybe next year and hoping to see it again. An amazing achievement
Beautiful
I was devastated when I heard about the fire in Notre Dame. I visited the cathedral a number of times and could never get enough of it and realized it would take many more visits to understand the entity of that beautiful space. I was pleased that I was able to contribute a small amount to the rebuilding fund. I was ecstatic when the French government put on a priority on the rebuild. I am awed by the work that was done and that the cathedral is available again.
Propaganda ya you tell us worst TV show on USA go away
Wonderful
Beautiful cathedral. Commendable, heroic commitment by workers and Macron. And, thank you, 60 minutes for a soul-stirring report.
Not just the history of France but the history of all humanity, warts and all. It speaks for all of us.
