Notre Dame

ENGLISH SUMMARY

KANT's coverage of Notre-Dame de Paris marks its reopening on 8 December 2024, five years after the April 2019 fire. The photo essay reads the restoration as an argument for patience: stained glass, choir and Gothic ornament brought back not as a replica but as a refinement of the original craft. KANT frames the return less as historical recovery than as a design pilgrimage — the delicate discipline of Gothic architecture worth building a Paris itinerary around, and proof that some things are restored slowly, on purpose.
