Five years after the fire in the roof of Notre-Dame de Paris – which caused massive damage to the iconic temple and shocked the world – the bells of the historic church in the French capital rang out again today, causing excitement and excitement among Parisians and lucky visitors alike. .

Shortly before 10:30 a.m. local time, the eight bells of the cathedral’s north spire rang, one by one, activated by special motors, reports Agence France-Presse.

One of the bells at Notre Dame was used during the 2024 Olympic Games at the Stade de France athletics venue.

The bells of Notre Dame were rung today, almost a month before the reopening and official opening of the cathedral on December 7 and 8.

“It’s not perfect yet, but we’ll do it,” said Alexandre Gougeon, in charge of reinstalling the bells. “This first test was successful,” he said.

The eight bells bear the names of personalities who have marked the life of Notre Dame, such as the largest, weighing more than 4 tons “Gabriel”, to the smallest “Jean-Marie”, weighing 800 kg, which was baptized in honor of the archbishop of Paris Jean -Marie Listizer (1981-2005),
