President Emmanuel Macron aims to revitalize his political image during the ceremonial reopening of Notre Dame, attended by international figures like Donald Trump and Prince William. The event symbolizes France's resilience amidst a political crisis following the fall of Prime Minister Michel Barnier's government. Despite the cathedral's restoration success, the country's overall state remains depressed. The ceremony will include a mass conducted by Archbishop Laurent Ulrich and a concert featuring notable artists. Pope Francis will not attend but has sent a message, reflecting strained relations with France.
