I was thinking "didn't they say Notre Dame would be ready for the Olympics?" And now I know the reason. Another great video!
-
Interesting fact: some of the craftspeople who work on the restauration of Notre Dame learned how to use medieval building techniques by working at Guedelon Castle in Burgundy. Guedelon is an archeological experiment meant to try and recreate a 13th century castle only by using tools and technologies that were available at that time. As it turned out, these people's unique first-hand experience has become immensely useful in rebuilding the cathedral... almost a small miracle.
-
When they said: „It will be ready in 2024 for the Olympics“ I thought, that it would take until 2030. But 4 months overrun on a project with an unknown scope is insanely good.

No building is eternal. Great Pyramid at Giza: Hold my thick chunky beer.
-
I’d happily watch a longer more in depth look at this restoration.
-
No building may be eternal... but man do many iconic structures throughout history outlast numerous human lifetimes
-
I'm not Catholic, nor French, nor have I ever read the book, but I think it's really mega to see this iconic building rebuilt to it's former glory. Stuff like this gives me some faith in humanity.
-
IT WAS FIVE WHOLE YEARS AGO?! Jokes aside, I always love watching these videos, they are on par with TV documentaries! Way to go, TheB1M ❤

Like the phoenix, she will rise from the ashes and once again stand tall and proud as the Lady of Paris. She is so ancient, wondrous and respected that she transcends religious, political and national barriers, important to Catholics and non-Catholics alike.
-
Assassin's creed Unity patched the Notre Dame day one
-
The most important point to learn is, a night fire watchman is a LOT cheaper than rebuilding.
-
That scaffolding is a piece of artwork in itself. Jeez.
-
Notre dame +10 happiness
-
Thank heavens that they went with the classic style. Some of the modern sugestions would have ruined the whole building
-
Fred. How many buildings have burnt while being renovated? Notre Dame de Paris, Windsor castle, The Glasgow School of Art, Denmark's stock exchange, Etc etc How? Why? What lessons have NOT been learned? New topic for you there!
-
It's amazing the amount of work going into a building that's many times older than my country (Australia)
-
I heard somewhere that an architectural historian shortly before the fire had made extensive and accurate 3D renderings of minute details such as the joinery used in the wooden elements of the structure—taking a lot of the guesswork out of the reconstruction. Pure luck. Great episode!
-
More historical stuff is a welcome! Incredible logistics and engineering to get it rebuilt.
-
"The love of the French people..." and people from abroad who contributed? Especially in the early days when the French billionaires were still promising in the currency of air, rather than actual money.
