This reconstruction is a titanic work and I am so glad and greatful to see it is done with respect, care for detail and love, not only towards the past, but towards the future generations that will inherit priceless monuments like this. A big thank you for everyone taking part in the reconstruction!

I was there during the fire. I lived all my childhood and adolescence near the cathedral. Seeing the fire and smelling it was the most traumatising moment in my life.

I visited the Cathedral in 1996, on my honeymoon. A memory I will cherish forever. I helped build or restore 14 churches in the U.S., the oldest dating to the early 1890's. It would be a honor to work on this project !!

I can't believe it's two years already. I know how much care they are taking with the restoration but I'm still glad I saw her a few times before the fire. However, for all the years she's been here it goes to show she is a living thing, and change will come. Here's to another 900 years.

May mother Mary protect all of you dear workers and builders for our Lords house.watching from Sydney Ausralia.

I visited Notre Dame in 1982 and 1996 and cried when i saw it on fire in 2019.

Thank you for saving not only a French treasure but a world treasure! I saw Notre Dame years ago and it would have been a tragedy not to rebuild.

Painstaking efforts to restore this beautiful cathedral to all her glory will be worth the honor and privilege.

This cathedral, broken, burnt and shattered will tell another chapter in its history. The restoration will tell the future of the love and dedication of the people who saved , rebuilt, and brought her back to life. Vive La France 🇫🇷 .

2 years already? Damn. Time flies fast

To those working on Norte Dame may you be strengthened and kept safe through your endeavors. You are now a part of the living history of the cathedral. Thank you. ❤️ from the USA.

I was in this magnificent building in 2005 while visiting Paris. This was the highlight of my trip. The stain glass was breathtaking… thank god they were able to save her. I cannot imagine Paris without Norte Dame Thank you to all who have the passion to restore her to her original glory.

I am extremely happy see how this beautiful historical restoration managed in so many aspects. Take good care of her.

Praying for reconstrution of Catedral,and people who working in this.God bless them.

I was in the Cathedral a few months before the fire. It is sad. I am glad that the Cathedral will be restored.

I went to Notre-Dame in 1969 and again in 2015. It’s gratifying to know that her restoration is going well. She’s in great hands.

Thank you all for your dedicated work to restore this beauty. I had the great fortune to visit Notre Dame in 1975 when there were few tourists and I was able to linger and study all the incredible detail created by artist-craftsmen so long ago. I've been able to revisit Paris multiple times since and Notre Dame and the Eiffel Tower along with the walk between along the Seine are always on my must revisit list. When the cathedral is once again open to visitors I will endure the crowd and once again take in its great beauty and splendor.

Doing things right I’m American I never been out of the USA but France holds a special place in my heart. I love anything French. I cried during the fire. I have faith that she will be put back to her former glory.

May God bless the Notre Dame de Paris forever and ever, Amen!

Je ne peux pas trouver les mots pour remercier pour cet immense travail de restauration de Notre Dame de Paris. J'espere que l'esprit francais va etre restaure aussi.

I am happy to see that this colossal task is in such loving and capable hands.

I'm not religious, but I'd hate to see these historic masterpieces lost. Just look at the craftsmanship, the architecture that goes into a building like this. Priceless talent.

It's great to see this beautifully elegant structure being rebuilt.

My warmest congratulations on your meticulous progress with restoring one of France's iconic monuments.

I visited the Notre-Dame de Paris Cathedral, back in 2010. It was one of the most amazing building I have ever seen. I am glad to see that they are restoring it instead of just demolishing it. Respect fom Canada and God speed!

I am glad that the French seem to be doing this in an exemplary way rather than rushing through a bad restoration in five years as President Macron wanted.

Beautiful beautiful work so much attention to detail.!!!! 👍👍

Paris came together to build it and now they come together again to restore it. It's kind of beautiful actually.

I do not believe in God. But I respect immensely masterpieces like Notre Damme. It is in a sense a "holly place" even for me a non believer. And given the chance I would also be proud to work to restore her to all its glory.

There is no way to describe the magnificents of the structure as it was pre-fire. Unless you saw it in person, the spatial relationships within the structure and outside on the banks of the Seine, it escapes. I attended High Mass when last there and pageantry was inspiring. I hope to live to return and see the full restoration one day.

I am very pleased with the French Government and French people for rebuilding the. If needed I will work free for rebuilding the Church. I have seen this Church in 2012. God be with the workers. Amen

I was so chocked seeing it burning down like that, it's something that should not be allowed to happen! I really hope that this initiated better precautions for preventing this happening to the many other really old heritages in Paris!

Wonderful work. All my sympathy went out to the people of France. If it had been Canterbury or St. Paul's I would have been broken hearted.

An amazing respect for the history and building. Incredible to see. You will not see that in many cultures and countries. Well done. Be interesting to see a time lapse

Hell of a job you are doing, all of you,incredible,, you are redoing history, are part of history, are history, keep calm and stay safe….

Sad that the fire happened, but very happy that it is being restored properly, in time, and with love. Keep up the good work. And thank you to all of the restoring participants.

Thank you. When the story went out of the news two years ago, I was hoping someone would let those of us from all over the world , who were emotionally involved with the disaster , know what happened next. I'm so glad that the old lady is getting the loving care that she deserves. I cried when she burned, and I cried again this evening when I saw this report.

Superb restoration on a much loved building! Such commitment! Good luck and thank you to all involved!

its such a huge undertakings and at the same a big responsibility to restore this magnificent cathedral. The future is in your hands and we would like to thank you for your bravery and tenacity of keeping this world heritage back for future generations to see. Looking forward to see it personally after the full restoration is finished.

She is such a jewel, I had the privilege of visiting there in 2012. I was in awe of the beauty of this structure.

I love your work and the love for detail you give to it. Keep on going. I saw Notre Dame in 2000, such a great piece of architecture.

I live in a nursing home. I remember sitting with my then roommate on that day, Tax Day! (in US) and watching in horrified fascination as this historic church slowly burned. I knew it was wrong but I couldn't stop looking and I don't think I was alone. I think it was harder for my roommate because she was Roman Catholic. Many prayers for the people involved in this extraordinary work.

I was shocked and horrified to see the fire in this buitifull historical building, and I had tears to see the spire fall.I am so glad to see the restoration begin and the care being taken.......good work thank you for the vidio hopefully a continuations of reports of the work every year continues.Regards.

Well done to all those involved.

Thank you for the outstanding work you're doing so future generations can enjoy this beautiful cathedral! Hats off to the Firefighters who not only fought the flames but worked to salvage the art inside Notre Dame.

I was in the cathedral in 2012, and had a chance to go in in 2018 but I was too impatient to wait to go in, definitely regret that I can’t wait to go back when it reopens

Do it and do it right. "It will be finished in Cathedral time."

God keep them safe,satisfied,joyous,healthy and motivated.

Atleast we will get some information and knowledge from this terrible disaster. Thanks to the French government, to all of the contributorns and financiers, the workers with their expertise and all archeaologists for gathering the knowledge from the ruins of this great Lady. May she glimmer once more in all Her glory.

I sang my own composition there in 2004, but I was rushed in and out so quickly that I got to see none of the inside. The outside, though, was breathtaking.

God bless all of our French brothers and sisters who are working to rebuild this beautiful masterpiece. God bless everyone involved.

Suspended like Angels to restore our Lady of Paris, God Bless.

Very happy to hear there going to actually start restoring Norte Dame this Summer. Long over due. Soon we will hear the Bells of Norte Dame again.

I don't know why this still brings me to tears.

Thank God

The skills and dedication of these experts will bring forth some light from the darkness. I am fortunate to have visited Notre-Dame on five occasions (between 1987 and 2012) and I have some precious photos and memories from those visits. Hopefully I can visit again when the work is nearly completed. Meanwhile, it is heartening to know that She is receiving the best possible care.

Thank you very much for this most interesting report. Thanks to all for their knowledge and expertise and I wish you all the very best as you continue this work.

She is beautiful. Bring her back to nearly what she was. She is really Our Lady.

I am so happy they were able to restore it so fast. I was in Paris shortly after the fire and the damage look so massive I was afraid it would take 10 years, very impressive.

It’s coming along quite nicely good luck to u all in your endeavours ❤️

My heart is crying.

I visited Notre Dame in July 1985. When I saw she was burning I cried and panicked. I knew how old she was and what a fire could do. I am so thrilled to see the progress being made but look forward to seeing the first mass in the church. You could probably sell tickets and put it on pay per view with the money going to finish the restoration.

At least it’s a miracle the whole cathedral didn’t burn to the ground

As a Roman Catholic myself, we thanked everyone that are hardworkingly rebuilding this amazing cathedral

Beautiful again now , good Job, thank you .. BLESS ..

beautiful when people value their history and culture, having advanced skills and heart to save a mere nail. Here in Brasil, the National Museum was burnt before Notre Dame, no one wants to pay the bill, and the few who are heroically working scarcely have to (not) wait for the government .the president is illiterate enough to call acheological remains as "indian poo". Keep the good work, while we here drown in the darkness of ignorance.

VIVE LA FRANCE!

The stunning beauty and the historical significance of Paris is something the entire world should feel ownership in. We are blessed with its existence. At 16 seconds the Architect walks with his arms behind his back along the Seine, I believe was used in a scene for the movie "Les Miserables" released in 1998. I still remember the scene with Liam Neeson (playing Jean Valjean) and Geoffrey Rush. (Playing Inspector Javert). The history of France is filled with Passion, drama and heroic acts of its citizens. Notre Dame De Paris is a glorious symbol of those things.

The windows were the first thing I thought of when my wife told me she was burning. Thrilled they were undamaged. Work with stained glass as a hobby...playing games with light.

My wife tried really hard to persuade me into entering the cathedral 5 minutes before the fire started, she had never been inside it before. But I wasn’t fund of the idea as we had been walking around Paris the entire day. Usually I give up, but I had a weird feeling that told me to absolutely not enter. So instead we took the bus to St. Lazare, she was dissappointed, and just when we stepped into the bus all people went ”Oh mon dieu” and as we looked back there was lots of smoke coming out of the cathedral. A couple of minutes later it was all over the news. When we took the train from St. Lazare, we could see the smoke from kilometers away. It was my first visit to Paris in years and the first night the firealarm went in our hotel in the middle of the night, so we had to all run out in pyjamas. I’ll never forget my visit to Paris that year.

Notre Dame, bless those who help build your cathedral

It was a disaster, but also this shows how amazing the building and how it was built. Now with all the tech we still having so much trouble rebuilding it. While back then u dont even have any thing

To be honest, I really miss the times when this was the biggest news

Fantastic...she will have a legacy of surviving a great catastrophe- something diminished, but something gained as well. 🌿🌐🌿🌿🌐🌿

I am sure the French can rebuild the Notre-Dame perfect. Succes, good luck, God bless you.

Has there been any reference to difficulties in obtaining oak beams of adequate length, explained by "Oak trees don't grow so high today?"

My heart and soul ached when the fire occurred! What a disastre! This masterpiece has endured for over a thousand years. I hope to be able to contribute to it's restoration, however small. It is a national treasure.

Bravo ...’ELLE ‘ sra à nouveau magnifique superbe chic grâce à votre travail exceptionnel.... 🙏👌💪🤞👍

thank you

Superb effort ..

If a beam of wood is needed, I'd love to donate one of my oak trees if that is possible. 💗

Nice piece

In my portuguese class in 2019 i had to present the book Notre Dame de Paris for a class work About international literature. The day of my presentation, notre Dame was on fire. Was my presentation so bad that the church burned to the ground?

Hopefully it's sufficiently guarded now.

I am so very glad that they are going to restore it to its original glory and not use some of the sickening ideas that cropped up after the fire.

Good video. Informative.

I want to visit France next year.

The sub titles are too fast I don’t have time to read them . Let’s hope the building is better than ever when it’s finished .

such a beautiful church

After 3 years i happy

From Italy i can only say: good luke!!!

Geweldig werk wat deze mensen doen🤗 👍

Lovely

9/17/21 When will we get some newer updates on how the progress of Restitution of the Church is coming along?

Kudos to the technicians on ropes. An incredibly difficult job under terrible circumstances: full protection suits and serious filtering masks.

I believe they should have Akiana krameric do artwork for the inside.

May God bless everyone's work on this irreplaceable monument to medieval man's achievements! Has any conclusion been reached as to the cause of the fire, yet?

It is interesting that using readily available technology one can laser scan things like a field of building stones in three dimensions and then apply an incredibly complicated algorithm to calculate their most plausible physical relationship to each other and technologically illustrate the exact restoration placement of each stone. The human touch and a bit of imagination must be used to fill in missing material gaps but it can be done. And a mind boggling number of fragments can be organized in seconds. Utterly amazing.

Wonderful!!!!!! All cheers to France.

I started to watch this but couldn't. I could feel my heart breaking.
