Repair works begin at Notre-Dame cathedral in Paris

Repair work has restarted at Notre-Dame cathedral in Paris after halting during France's coronavirus lockdown.

A fire tore through the iconic medieval building last April, destroying its roof and spire but leaving its structure intact.

President Emmanuel Macron later vowed to restore the building within five years.

The global coronavirus pandemic forced officials to delay the planned start of reconstruction on 23rd March.

But on Monday, workers returned to the construction site to make it compliant with new social distancing rules.
