Notre Dame cathedral in Paris repaired and reopened

About 5 years after a horrible arson that destroyed the original spire on the Notre Dame cathedral in Paris, it's now been fully repaired and reopened to the public:
After more than five years of frenetic reconstruction work, Notre Dame Cathedral showed its new self to the world Friday, with rebuilt soaring ceilings and creamy good-as-new stonework erasing somber memories of its devastating fire in 2019.

Images broadcast live of a site visit by French President Emmanuel Macron showed the inside of the iconic cathedral as worshippers might have experienced it back in medieval times, its wide, open spaces filled with bright light on a crisp and sunny winter’s day that lit up the vibrant colors of the stained-glass windows.

Gaping holes that the blaze tore into the vaulted ceilings, leaving charred piles of debris, are gone, now filled in with new stonework. Delicate golden angels look on from the centerpiece of one of the rebuilt ceilings.

The cathedral’s limestone walls look brand new, cleaned not only of dust from the fire but also of grime that had accumulated for years. The cathedral attracted millions of worshippers and visitors annually before the blaze.

Powerful vacuum cleaners were used to first remove toxic dust released when the fire melted the cathedral’s lead roofs. Fine layers of latex were then sprayed onto the surfaces and removed a few days later, taking dirt away with them.
One of the reasons they were able to repair it as best as possible is because, if memory serves, Donald Trump offered money for the repair job during his first term as POTUS. But going forward, no telling, regrettably, if France's government will do anything to get rid of the Moslem invaders who led to terrible incidents like these. That's something that has to be worked on now.
