Five years after the devastating fire that ravaged Notre-Dame de Paris, this spiritual icon of French history reopened its doors. This historic event was celebrated with an inaugural ceremony on December 7. The cathedral’s rebirth, made possible thanks to a remarkable mobilization, is tremendously moving.
Right from day one, LVMH joined the unprecedented outpouring of generosity that enabled the restoration of this jewel of our heritage, ensuring that Notre-Dame will long into the future shine brightly in France and around the world.
The unwavering engagement of all the actors and partners involved in the restoration of Notre-Dame de Paris was decisive. We have a special thought for General Jean-Louis Georgelin who, until his tragic passing in 2023, led the state organization in charge of the conservation and restoration of the cathedral.
This massive undertaking was completed in record time, showcasing the excellence of French savoir-faire, flawlessly executed by nearly 2,000 architects, workers and artisans in a host of métiers.
Thanks to this collective engagement, Notre-Dame is now ready to welcome visitors and continue to inspire the entire world.
