The central part of the cathedral was reopened in December 2024, but it has taken longer for Notre-Dame's twin towers to be accessible once again for visitors.

A huge restoration project has taken place over the past few years to bring the cathedral back to its former glory after parts of it were substantially damaged during 2019's fire.

French President Emmanuel Macron on Friday reopened the newly-restored towers to the public.
