Rebuilding Notre-Dame de Paris : the official history of the restoration

Description

On 15 April 2019, before the incredulous eyes of the entire world, the frame and spire of Notre-Dame de Paris were transformed into a blazing inferno, before disappearing from the Parisian landscape, entirely consumed after having opened gaping breaches in the cathedral's vaults. The emotion was immense. From the deeply scarred monument to its rebirth in five years, this book tells the story of one of the most fascinating worksites of the twenty-first century.

It is also a prodigious challenge, taken up with enthusiasm and pride, in the heart of the cathedral and in workshops all over France. Rebuilding Notre-Dame de Paris is the official book of this tremendous human adventure, illustrated by over 250 photographs and plans, and enriched by exclusive accounts from the journeymen, craftsmen, architects and engineers who worked together to rebuild Notre-Dame de Paris.
