French President Emmanuel Macron has told workers who revived Paris' iconic, fire-ravaged Notre Dame cathedral, that they "achieved what was thought impossible."

French President Emmanuel Marcon, his wife and a select number of people were given a tour of Notre-Dame Cathedral on Friday, as it is set for a grand reopening to the public next week after hundreds of millions were poured into a renovation following a devastating early 2019 fire.

The French president Emmanuel Macron has praised the more than 1,000 craftspeople who helped with “the project of the century”: rebuilding Paris ’s Notre-Dame Cathedral after it was gutted by a devastating fire.
