Children look from a distance at the Notre Dame cathedral under renovation in Paris, France, April 16, 2021. Two years after a ferocious blaze devastated Notre Dame cathedral in Paris, French President Emmanuel Macron on Thursday visited the site and reaffirmed that the 2024 deadline set for the renovation project will be met. On April 15, 2019, a huge fire broke out at the historic cathedral located in the heart of Paris and destroyed the spire of the building. Hours after the blaze, Macron promised that the cathedral, one of the finest examples of French Gothic architecture, would be rebuilt and reopen by 2024. (Xinhua/Gao Jing)
