Plundered and partly destroyed: See why Notre Dame has been at the heart of French history

Notre Dame has stood for over 860 years, through the fall of empires, revolutions and world wars, at the physical, and spiritual, heart of France’s capital. In 2019, a fire devastated the structure but after five years and an over €700 million euro ($738 million) restoration project, the gothic church will soon re-open to the public.
