French president Emmanuel Macron, backed by the archbishop of Paris, is planning to replace a series of stained-glass windows, even though they remained intac.
The outline of the new spire on the Notre-Dame Cathedral was visible on the Paris skyline on Tuesday as a key part of the reconstruction from a devastating fire approached completion. Scaffolding still surrounded the new spire.
After the fire that partially destroyed the Notre-Dame Cathedral, we are left to look back at the night of devastation, and forward at plans to rebuild.
