Thanks for sharing! Made me wonder how the restoration process was going. Just found this article from January. Tomorrow 4/15/2022 (or perhaps that is already today if you are in the EU) marks 3 years since the fire. I was due to go to Paris a few weeks later. Sadly my daughter never got tour it because everything was obviously blocked off. I was fortunate to visit many years earlier - Good Friday 2004. Will be staying nearby again in May - will have to take more pictures!

After the fire: NatGeo takes intimate look inside Notre Dame Cathedral's restoration

Architects are, in part, using medieval hand tools to restore the cathedral to its last documented state.

After I completed the CF in June of 2017 and spending 5 blissful days in Santiago, I rode the train to Paris. It was a strange feeling to trace by rail part of the route travelled on foot sipping a cold beer as we passed the westward flow of pilgrims. I stayed a few days in Paris before flying home to Seattle. Attached is a photo I took on June 12th. So happy to note the restoration is proceeding apace.
