In a poignant moment, the bells of Notre Dame in Paris chimed for the first time since the catastrophic fire in 2019. The bells, restored in a Normandy foundry, were activated individually by specialists. Notably, one bell was used during the 2024 Olympic Games at the Stade de France. Notre Dame is set to reopen to the public in December, with a grand re inauguration ceremony scheduled for the 7th, attended by leaders and religious representatives.
