I have been supporting the restoration for all this time and can't wait to see Notre-Dame again. I pray that I will be able to travel to Paris in 2025 so I may witness this extraordinary resurrection.

This is clearly not the portrait of the bishop Maurice de Sully. It seems to be the portrait of Mac Mahon (1808-1893), Marechal of France and french President.

It does, for some weird reason, appear on Google Image search results for Maurice de Sully… That's what you get when one can't distinguish between mediaeval priestly attire and modern military uniforms. 🤦‍♂

Born in the Chateau de Sully.

Wrong at 2:04: Saint Etienne du Mont church [picture] was built around 1494 on top of Montagne Sainte Genevieve in the Latin Quarter, and is still standing today near by the Pantheon. It has never been a cathedral; it shelters the remains of Genevieve, patron saint of Paris. On the other hand, the 4th Saint Etienne cathedral on Ile de la Cite (Lutetia) was standing where is the large plaza in front of today cathedral Notre Dame.

Wonderful video. Blessings to all who have worked to restore this world treasure and for all the prayers and resources from around the planet. May Notre Dame continue for many centuries ahead as a loving symbol to the Creative principle of the Universe...God

I remember part of the cathedral exterior still covered with soot and the other half either all cleaned off showing the original yellowish sandstone color or jets on scaffolds spraying water on her in 1969. Before that, the whole building looked like it was built of grey and charcoal-colored stone, since home, business, office and school in the city had been heated for years by coal.

Notre Dame sera rendue identique en tout point comme le faisait avant les artisans du moyen âge. Le savoir faire de nos artisans et entreprises sont notre fiertée. Quelques artisans sont venus de l étranger nous les remercions. La majeure partie de l argent vient des français dont aussi des groupes comme l Oreal et LVM etc.. Des contributions de l extérieurs on complétées la somme nécessaire pour refaire nôtre Dame un grand merci à eux aussi. 🙏

I hope they put in s sprinkler system to protect that wood roof and structure. A fire alarm is just not enough! The cleaning process has made the church look better than it has in hundreds of years!

This is absolutely not the portrait of the 12th century parisian bishop Maurice de Sully ! By the way, do we have a portrait of him ?

Until the 14th century, there were no realistic portraits of anyone in France. The art of portraiture did not exist then, and we have to wait for the portrait of John II to see for the first time a public figure faithfully represented. Therefore, there is no realistic portrait of Maurice de Sully anywhere.

um, not "a symbol of Gothic architecture", it is Gothic architecture. it's a symbol of the heart of Paris. but I appreciate the updates.

You have so many wrong facts.

Thanks for your Video. Your image representing Maurice de Sully is most probably wrong as Wikipedia induced you into it. (they represented a noble person of the IXXth century while Maurice de Sully was a Bishop born in 1105 and died in 1196 and very little (or none) portraits exist .

Except that roof wasn't usually subject to sources of ignition… It just burned down because of some accident during renovation works, and it wasn't exactly at night, but probably during work hours still. There were people around, and they had to evacuate.

@@Mainyehc How many instances of 'ignition' do you need to burn down a building? Only one, right? We install sprinklers systems and fire stairs for that one instance only. It's this mindset of precaution that saves us from a lot of harm. This also applies to structures built before that awareness arrived but here and there, it has not sunken in yet, apparently.

To the honor of our Mother Mary and for the Glory of God.

Too much misinformation!

Les tours 2000. À New York, la cathédrale c’est les mêmes.

Replacing traditional features like confessional boxes, altars and classical sculpture with modern art, lighting, and sound effects? What? This is a cathedral, right? So why not install soulless ugly modern art so devoid of inspiration and beauty, a sound system yeah!, we don't want the place to be quiet with subdued light because that might encourage visitors ... to ... pray ... or go to confession! And why not install vending machines or hire the church out as a dance hall as they did with Canterbury Cathedral! These are all wonderful improvements! I feel sick.

And honey, money does make the world go around. Baby, hopes and dreams aren’t fixing the church. Got it baby doll.

Good history, decent building updates. The robo voice narration and incorrectly pronounced names were a bit like fingernails on a chalkboard.

❤ your channel

Famous by the novel of Victor Hugo. Not really interested in the Church itself! Always crowded though. Paris has other places worth visiting. 🤨🤔

This must be totally or partially AI generated , with lots of questionable or wrong "facts". Then the voice-over with an American accent pronounces the name as if it is that university in Indiana, and not the famous Parisian Cathedral. But suddenly at 8:16 the correct Notre DAHM cathedral is used correctly instead of Dame, the university in Indiana. Why? AI I'm betting or incompetence.

Ils ont fait la cathédrale, parce qu’ils savaient très bien que on l’adorait de cette cathédrale, ce qu’ils ont fait en tout au tours en 2001 C’était anar, architecte américain, qui devait refaire la cathédrale. Il était juif.?

“Unified Global Response” says it all - matter and anti-matter. Fire never explained (factually).

Il a fallu 2 siècles pour construire ND et là, à peine 10 ans suffisent? On peut douter de la qualité du chantier.

My appreciation is offered to President Macron, to countless generous donors, to the multi national legion of engineers, architects, and to the skilled craftspeople who are working so hard to restore this world class iconic place of worship back to its former greatness.

Cornerstone sanctified by Divine Approval? Sanctimonious BS.

Vous c’était détour, nous ça a été la cathédrale mais avant nous on a eu déjà aussi le Bataclan un peu comme les Russes ont eu chez eux c’est les mêmes

Stop with the AI voiceovers. Pony up a little cash for a real narrator

C’est pas fou, pas de salle dessus, ça barder, on fait sauter le Pentagone

This a cathedral, not a football team... it's pronounced Nayt-tre Dam not Note-er Day-m

Just click bait ..rubbish

It’s pronounced “No-tre-dam”. Not “Notter Dame”. Terrible narrator!

In a time when people are living on the streets across the world, hungrily looking for food, this represents the ultimate selfishness of those who spent millions rebuilding an edifice to symbolize the strength of the Catholic church. Remember those parts of the Bible that speak against the worship of idols? Those idols representing the saints and Mary? This was not God's plan.This new edifice represents POWER, CONTROL, and the worst of it is, by building it, the Church has made it clear that this rebuilding was more important than the welfare of human beings around the world. FOR SHAME!

wonder how much sexual innuendo was subliminally added to the cathedral during the restoration process?

Since you've decided to desecrate God's home by takinf all the consecrated Holy Altars, confessionals, and beutiful art and replacing it with ugly modern art garbage, why not have rock bands and hold concerts!! Shame on all involved, and I for one will never step inside the walls of that building!! So sad!! 😢

It'pronounced /not-re dam/, not /noat-re dame/. Next time you make a video, get the pronunciation checked. It's just lazy and ignorant.
